Delhi Lt Governor(LG) V K Saxena, while celebrating "Meri Maati Mera Desh", which is a tribute to the brave hearts who made the supreme sacrifice for the nation, announced at Raj Niwas on Wednesday that a symbol of unity "Amrit Vatika", near National War Memorial here, will be developed soon.
This beautiful garden, to be developed by soil and earth brought from all 11 districts of Delhi, will not just be a green space; it will be a living testament to our shared heritage, nurtured by the soil and saplings from every corner of our vast nation.
The LG also flagged off the 11 urns containing the earth to travel through the city, for their destination at National War Memorial.
Youth, volunteers and other people from all corners of the country collected 'mitti' from Panchayats/Villages and brought it to the Block level.
Similarly, 'Mitti' was collected from smaller urban bodies and brought to larger Municipalities/urban local bodies. Subsequently, Mitti Kalash having the soil from the Panchayats/Villages/urban areas was carried to the National Capital.
The "Amrit Kalash Yatra," which carries the essence of our villages, signifies the strength that is derived from the unity and shared roots. This campaign, envisaged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of our heroes which unites us in the diverse tapestry of our great nation, said Saxena.
"Meri Maati Mera Desh" is not merely a set of activities but it is a collective expression of gratitude etched into the very earth of our villages and cities, paying homage to the valour that defines our nation.
