All about ‘Yatra of Seva’: 20 teams to cover 35,500 km between Gujarat's Vadnagar to Varanasi
The initiative also includes distributing kits to widows, honouring ASHA workers and bringing communities together for various welfare activities.
A unique motorcycle Yatra called 'Yatra of Seva' is set to travel across 35,500 kilometers from Vadnagar in Gujarat to Varanasi and back, from September 17 to October 7. This first-of-its-kind journey aims to bring the spirit of Seva, or service, to communities at the grassroots level.
The Yatra will be undertaken by 20 teams who will stop at towns, districts, talukas, and villages along the route. During their stops, the 'Seva Yatris' will engage with locals by participating in various activities. These include cleanliness drives at public places like ponds, temples, schools, parks, and hospitals. They will also interact with beneficiaries, hold youth dialogues, attend Gram Sabha meetings, promote Gau Seva (cow protection), and plant trees under the initiative 'Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam' (One tree for mother earth).
In PM SHRI Schools, the Yatris are involved in cleaning school campuses, engaging with students, and distributing books and stationery. Their visits extend to hospitals, orphanages, and old-age homes to provide support to those in need. The initiative also emphasizes sampank (connection) and dialogue, encouraging interactions with young people, village meetings, discussions with local leaders, women, and government welfare scheme beneficiaries.
Furthermore, the Yatra promotes organ donation, pays tributes to martyrs and freedom fighters, and helps communities connect with their nation's history and heroes. By combining Seva, Sampark (contact), youth participation, social welfare, cultural connect, and community mobilisation, the 'Yatra of Seva' aims to create a profound impact across every locale it traverses.
