BHUBANESWAR:The inspiration for all of us and the unique leader of the world, the country’s famous Prime Minister Narendra Modi will complete 25 years of public service and dedication on October 7. He began his term as the Chief Minister of Gujarat on October 7, 2001, and for the past 25 years, he has been continuously leading his service journey, guided by the principle of transforming public service into national service. This journey is not just an ordinary journey, it is a journey of struggle, a journey of service to the people, a journey of determination, a journey of continuous self-confidence for 25 years. An ordinary worker has done extraordinary work and brought about change by implementing many reformative works with the power of his qualifications and skills. In addition, by establishing many foundations, Modi has set an example of renunciation, penance, meditation and self-confidence in the minds of the people, proving that nothing is impossible, said State President and Rajya Sabha MP Shri Manmohan Samal.
In a press conference held at the state office today, Shri Samal said that taking the inspiration from Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s 25 years of public life, continuous service, dedication and nation building journey as a basis, the Bharatiya Janata Party is organizing a nationwide ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’. In Odisha too, this campaign will be celebrated not only as a party event, but also as a comprehensive campaign of public service, public participation and social responsibility.
The campaign will be taken up to all the organizational districts, mandals and booth levels of the state. Youth, women, students, farmers, poor and underprivileged sections will be involved in this. Blood donation camps, cleanliness campaigns, social service, public awareness, Anganwadi public relations and various welfare programs will be organized. With the spirit of ‘Seva Moro Yogdaan’, common citizens will also be involved in service work. Drawing, speech and various creative competitions will be organized at school and college levels. New ideas will be created among the youth regarding ‘Developed India-2047’, nation building, youth power and public service. People will be reached through programs like ‘Seva Jyoti Yatra’, ‘Seva Setu’, Angan Milan. In the last phase of the campaign, public representatives and activists will strengthen their resolve for service through ‘Jan Sevak Maha Kumbh’, said State President Shri Samal.
The Seva Sankalp Abhiyan is not a celebration, it is a resolution of public service. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s 25 years of public life is an inspiring journey of service, dedication and nation building. Taking inspiration from his journey, our goal is to turn the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ into a major public movement in Odisha. Welfare of the poor, empowerment of women, development of youth and prosperity of farmers are the main goals of the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan.
Taking inspiration from Modi’s 25 years of service, lakhs of workers in Odisha will take the resolution of service. The BJP government in Odisha is moving forward by prioritizing public service and development. So that the benefits of the welfare schemes of the Central Government and the developmental initiatives of the State Government reach the last person of the society, the party workers will intensify their public relations and service work. Especially, we will reach out to the tribal community, women, youth, farmers, poor and deprived sections and listen to their needs and problems and cooperate as much as possible. Together, we will take service as our responsibility. Our small services can bring about big changes in the society. Taking inspiration from the Prime Minister’s 25-year journey of service, State President Shri Samal has called upon us to take the resolve to build a prosperous, strong and developed Odisha.
