Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has said that from 17th September to 2nd October, ‘Sewa Pakhwada’ will be observed across the state. During this period, many public service programmes, welfare schemes, cleanliness drives, and other programmes of the central and state governments will be carried out.
The BJP is holding a two-week-long “Seva Pakhwada” to celebrate Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday, promoting community service and outreach across the country.
The Chief Minister said that for the last 11 years, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, new schemes and projects have been implemented for public welfare, from which the people of the country are benefitting today.
“Inspired by the life philosophy of the Prime Minister, during Sewa Pakhwada, the spirit of service among the people will be strengthened. We all must work together to make Sewa Pakhwada a success,” he added.
The Chief Minister directed officials that all departments should make full preparations for the fortnight. During this period, the Health Department will organise medical check-up camps.
The Department of Social Justice and Empowerment will hold programmes for the welfare of differently-abled persons, and other departments will organise cleanliness campaigns and voluntary labour programmes.
He said that during Sewa Pakhwada, blood donation camps, plastic-free campaigns and tree plantation drives will also be organised.
The Chief Minister has instructed the officials to hold special programmes during the Sewa Pakhwada to take the welfare schemes of their respective departments to the grassroots level and ensure maximum public participation in these events.
He added that since the Sewa Pakhwada will run for more than two weeks, every department should organise one major programme in each district. Along with this, all departments should also collectively hold programmes across the state.
The purpose of the fortnight is to give priority to public service, so in all events, public welfare and public service should remain paramount, he said.
