										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asked people to participate in an auction of gifts and mementos he has received over the years, with the revenues going to the ‘Namami Gange&#8217; project.</p>
<p>The Prime Minister tweeted that “Over time, I have received several gifts and mementos which are being auctioned. This includes the special mementos given by our Olympics heroes. Do take part in the auction. The proceeds would go to the Namami Gange initiative.”</p>
<p>The e-auction, which is being organized by the Ministry of Culture, began on Friday, on the Prime Minister&#8217;s birthday, and will run through October 7. This is the third iteration of an auction like this, and any one or any organization can join by visiting https://pmmementos.gov.in.</p>
