Salman Khan is constantly on his toes, when it comes to any social cause in the society. Khan, who was nominated by PM Narendra Modi in the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan has been appreciated for his efforts.

PM tweeted, "Once again, @BeingSalmanKhan makes a distinct & appreciable effort towards a Clean India. I congratulate him."

While shooting in Karjat for Kabir Khan's 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', the actor along with his co-star Kareena Kapoor Khan and crew members painted a nearby village, Hatluni.

The team under the assistance of a group of professional painters, painted each and every house in the village. Besides this, he also started a clean up campaign in Karjat.

On his micro-blogging account he posted, "The Honorable Prime Minister nominated me for the Swachh Bharat campaign and I have cleaned and painted three villages in Maharashtra so far. I intend to continue with this initiative, but Swachh Bharat is not about what one of us can do. It's about what each of us can do."

"So today, on Republic Day, I am taking this campaign social. I will nominate 100 followers a month for Swachh Bharat. Please start a sustainable Swachh Bharat initiative in and around your area of work or residence or both. Upload your before and after pictures or videos. Five of the best initiatives will get special mention on my Facebook page and also win a prize each. Kya bolte ho? Shuru karein? First list will be up tomorrow."
