New Delhi: Power Finance Corporation (PFC), a Maharatna  under the Ministry of Power, organised a Shramdaan drive at its corporate office in New Delhi  on Thursday as part of the #Swachhotsav – Swachhta Hi Seva 2025 campaign, aligning with Prime Minister  Narendra Modi’s nationwide call of “Ek Din, Ek Ghanta, Ek Saath.”
