Gandhinagar (Gujarat) [India], September 19 (ANI): As part of the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan 2026’, a ‘Matru Samvad’ programme was held in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Harsh Sanghavi at Uttarsanda in Nadiad of Kheda district, with women associated with Sakhi Mandals and Gruh Udyog. He arrived at the venue after a motorcycle yatra from Gandhinagar with youth workers, according to a release.
Speaking at the programme organised at Shreeji Papad Gruh Udyog, Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi highlighted Nari Shakti and women’s self-reliance and said, “The main objective of this Seva Yatra is to visit villages and seek the blessings of elders, conduct cleanliness campaigns, undertake cow service and serve at old-age homes.”
Referring to 25 years of uninterrupted service under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said that initiatives including ‘PM Awas Yojana’, ‘Izzat Ghar’ (toilets) and the annual Rs 6,000 ‘Kisan Samman Nidhi’ directly credited to farmers’ bank accounts have brought significant changes to the lives of ordinary people.
