A rainbow of activities would mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 72nd birthday on Saturday with BJP workers planning to adopt one tuberculosis patient for one year to accomplish Modi’s call to make the country “TB mukt” by year 2025.
The Prime Minister who is to travel to Madhya Pradesh on his birthday to release the cheetahs brought from Namibia in Kuno National Park would deliver four speeches at events linked to wildlife, environment and women empowerment, skills and youth development, and next-generation infrastructure.
According to officials, Modi will also address the students of ITSs at its first-ever convocation ceremony on the occasion of Vishwakarma Jayanti. Around 40 lakh students will be joining this programme. In the evening, Modi will launch the important National Logistics Policy and speak at the occasion.
To mark the occasion, the BJP would organize “unity in diversity” festivals, blood donations, and a cleanliness drive across the country as part of its fortnight-long “seva” campaign.
“Unity in diversity” festivals in all districts of the country would send out the message of “Ek Bharat, Shresth Bharat” (One India, Great India) to people, according to Party general secretary Arun Singh. As part of these festivals, BJP functionaries will identify a state different from theirs and adopt its language and culture for a day, he said.
BJP workers would organize blood donation camps in 964 districts of the country, free health check-ups, covid19 vaccination camps, distribute equipment to ‘divyangs’ and would plant 10 lakh ‘Peepal’ trees across the country.
The campaign will be launched on Modi’s birthday on September 17 and conclude on October 2, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi.
