Diyas, blood donation, bike rallies to mark PM Modi’s 25 years in public life

The Bharatiya Janata Party is set to launch a month-long Seva Sankalp Abhiyan to commemorate Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25 years of public service. The campaign, announced by BJP president Nitin Nabin on September 17, will culminate in October. Modi's tenure as chief minister of Gujarat began on October 7, 2001. The BJP aims to showcase his journey from state leadership to national politics through a series of public outreach programs across 12 categories.

The Seva Diwas observance on September 17 will kick off the campaign with a blood donation camp. The Aashirwad Ka Diya program will see party workers and NDA welfare scheme beneficiaries lighting ceremonial lamps, or diyas, at their homes. The "Seva Ki Kahani" initiative encourages people to share social media content on Modi's governance impact.

Schools will host drawing competitions and plays based on Modi's 25 years in public life. The campaign includes bike rallies from Vadnagar to Modi's Varanasi constituency, human chain competitions, and the Seva First Innovation Challenge, rewarding innovative ideas related to national welfare and policies.
