BJP Plans Month-Long Seva Sankalp Campaign for Modi Milestone
The Bharatiya Janata Party plans a month-long programme called Seva Sankalp Abhiyan.
It is meant to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi completing 25 years in public office.
The programme is linked to his birthday on September 17 and to the anniversary of his becoming Gujarat’s chief minister.
People may take part in clean-up drives, tree planting, blood donations and health camps.
Another programme will help eligible people apply for government benefits they missed because of paperwork or other problems.
Young people will be invited to suggest solutions to local problems and share videos about helpful activities.
Anganwadi workers will also be honoured for helping children and families.
Party workshops will organize the campaign across states, districts, blocks and booths.
The BJP will launch a nationwide, month-long Seva Sankalp Abhiyan to mark Narendra Modi’s 25 years in public office.
The campaign will build on the annual Seva Pakhwada held around Modi’s September 17 birthday and commemorate his October 7, 2001 oath as Gujarat chief minister.
Planned activities include sanitation drives, blood donations, tree planting, health camps and contributions to tuberculosis-eradication efforts.
A 15-day Seva Setu Abhiyan will help eligible people address documentation problems and seek benefits under schemes such as PM-Kisan and Ayushman Bharat.
The BJP also plans Anganwadi-worker honours, youth innovation competitions, service-themed social-media reels and workshops to coordinate implementation.
