Past cases
Previously, Modi retweeted card with 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' logo
When Modi had launched Swachh Bharat Abhiyan in 2014, it resonated with all and was appreciated by many.
Lending support, a Bengaluru-based family, in 2017, printed the logo of the campaign on the wedding invitation card of their daughter.
Interestingly, when a family member tweeted the card, his post was retweeted by none other than PM Modi himself.

Support
Not just logo, family also provided ample dustbins at venue
The card was tweeted out by one Jain family, current residents of Karnataka, who are die-hard Modi supporters.
Kantilal Jain, the family's head, is known as the Modi of Mysuru because of his uncanny resemblance to the PM.
Not only he made sure the logo was printed on the card, he also provided dustbins at every corner of the venue to promote the mission.

Jains educated their daughters inspired by Modi's Kanya Kelavani Yojna
Before shifting to Karnataka, the Jains lived in Gujarat for 8 years.
When Modi was its CM, he had launched Kanya Kelavani Yojna, a prototype of Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao Andolan.
Inspired by that, the Jains started to educate their daughters instead of marrying them off.
Pratiksha, the one who was getting married, now works for Infosys, and her younger sister is with KPMG.
