New Delhi [India], August 22 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) National General Secretary Vinod Tawde, while addressing the media on Saturday, shared key details about the first meeting of the National Office Bearers held after the formation of the BJP's new team, as well as the workshop organised regarding the 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan'.
As per the press note, he said that the 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' will be conducted across the country from September 17 to October 17 with the objective of taking the spirit of service demonstrated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his 25 years of public life to every section of society.
Under the campaign, various service activities, programmes to connect beneficiaries with government schemes, and initiatives to engage youth in service and innovation will be organised.
Tawde stated that the first meeting of the National Office Bearers was held today following the formation of the BJP's new team. Thereafter, a workshop was also organised for all State Presidents, Organisation General Secretaries, and teams of seven to eight karyakartas selected from each state for the 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan'. The party is making extensive preparations to effectively take the campaign across the country and reach it down to the booth level.
BJP National General Secretary stated that every year, on September 17, the party organises 'Seva Pakhwada' across the country on the occasion of the birth anniversary of the Prime Minister. "The personality of Prime Minister Modi has always been closely associated with the spirit of service, and therefore, the party has been organising various service activities on the occasion of his birth anniversary for the past several years. This year marks a special occasion, as the Prime Minister took the oath as the Chief Minister of Gujarat on October 7, 2001, and on the upcoming October 7, 25 years will be completed since this important milestone in his public life. In view of this, the Bharatiya Janata Party has decided to organise a month-long 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' across the country," Tawde said.
He stated that various programmes will be organised during the 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' with the objective of taking the spirit of service of Prime Minister Modi to every section of society. "Under the campaign, mothers and sisters working in Anganwadis will be honoured, and 'Matri Samvad' programmes will be organised with them. While the government formulates various schemes, Anganwadi workers play an important role at the grassroots level in ensuring the nutrition and care of children. BJP karyakartas will reach more than 1.4 million Anganwadi centres across the country and honour the Anganwadi workers who are working with a spirit of service," he said.
Tawde asserted that an important programme titled 'Seva Mein Mera Yogdan' will also be organised. Through this initiative, particularly youth and citizens will be encouraged to create reels showcasing the service activities undertaken during the campaign and make them a source of inspiration for others.
Service activities such as cleanliness drives, tree plantation, and identifying TB patients under the TB eradication campaign and connecting them with government schemes will be highlighted through creative mediums. The reels created by the youth will be disseminated at the district and state levels so that more and more people are inspired to undertake service activities.
He stated that through the 'Seva Setu Abhiyan', it will be ensured that no eligible person is deprived of the benefits of public welfare schemes launched during the tenure of Prime Minister Modi due to their exclusion. "For this purpose, camps of the concerned departments will be organised at the block level for 15 days. If the name of any eligible person has been left out of schemes such as Ayushman Bharat or the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi, they will be able to visit these camps, fill out the required forms, and enrol themselves in the respective scheme. In this manner, the 'Seva Setu Abhiyan' will serve as an effective bridge between the government's schemes and their actual beneficiaries," he said.
Tawde stated that a 'National Innovation Challenge' will also be organised to encourage the talent and innovative potential of the youth. Under this initiative, youth will be made aware of the problems in their local areas and will be given an opportunity to present solutions through research and innovation. The competition will be organised at the block, district, and state levels, enabling creative and innovative solutions to local problems to emerge at the local level.
The BJP National General Secretary asserted that the national-level workshop has been completed today. State-level workshops will be organised by August 31, followed by the completion of district- and block-level workshops over the next five to seven days. (ANI)
