“#EarthDay is about expressing gratitude to Mother Earth for her kindness and reiterating our commitment to care for our planet,” read the tweet.

Modi also posted a clip of his past remarks about India's traditional regard for the environment. In the clip, he said it is the responsibility of every generation to conserve the environment.
