To commemorate the completion of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's twenty-five years in public life, a grand 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' was organized at the Meerganj Tehsil complex in Bareilly. Running from September 17 to October 17, the primary objective of this campaign is to present 'Viksit Bharat 2047' as a collective national resolution. On this occasion, the message of service, dedication, and public welfare was conveyed through the lighting of ceremonial lamps (deep prajvalan).

Several public representatives and administrative officers were present at the event, including Meerganj MLA Dr. DC Verma, Block Pramukh Gopal Krishna Gangwar, Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Nidhi Shukla, Tehsildar Ashish Kumar, and Naib Tehsildar Simran. They inaugurated the campaign by lighting the lamp. Under this initiative, lamps were also lit across the tehsil complex, block offices, nagar panchayat premises, and major intersections, spreading the message of service, dedication, and public welfare far and wide.

Call for Public Participation for 'Viksit Bharat'

Beneficiaries of government schemes also participated enthusiastically in this campaign by lighting lamps at their residences. Administrative officials, public representatives, voluntary organizations, and a large number of citizens came together to arrange rows of lamps, strengthening the spirit of social unity and service to the nation. This event concluded with the aim of continuously encouraging collective efforts toward nation-building. Local residents took an active part in this gathering and pledged to maintain cleanliness and actively participate in the government's welfare schemes.

Through this campaign, the twenty-five years of service in the Prime Minister's public life were highlighted, and citizens were inspired to realize the dream of a 'Viksit Bharat' for the future. This event held in Meerganj reflects the significance of every citizen's role in the nation's development.

Emphasis on the Benefits of Welfare Schemes and Public Service

Sub-Divisional Magistrate Nidhi Shukla appealed to the gathered public to take maximum advantage of the welfare schemes run by the government. She called upon people to cooperate with the administration in connecting eligible individuals with these schemes. Along with this, she encouraged citizens to actively participate in crucial areas such as cleanliness, education, healthcare, environmental protection, women empowerment, and self-reliance. She placed special emphasis on how these schemes can directly improve the life of the common man and prove to be a vital link in building a 'Viksit Bharat'.

This program organized at the Meerganj Tehsil set a unique example of social harmony and public participation, marking an important step toward achieving the goal of 'Viksit Bharat'. On this occasion, the citizens present pledged not only to avail themselves of the benefits of these welfare schemes but also to raise awareness among those around them and inspire them to become part of these initiatives.
