Gandhinagar, Sep 25 (NationPress) In a bid to enhance hygiene and instill civic responsibility, the Olpad Bus Depot in Gujarat initiated a comprehensive cleanliness campaign on Thursday as part of the 'Seva Pakhwada' initiative, coinciding with the celebration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 75th birthday.
This initiative is a segment of a broader national campaign spearheaded by the BJP, which includes activities such as cleanliness initiatives, health awareness, and tree planting efforts.
The event saw enthusiastic participation from notable officials, including members of the State Transport Corporation, the Depot Manager of Olpad, the President of Olpad Taluka Panchayat, Nita Ben Patel, the Sarpanch of Olpad Gram Panchayat, alongside local leaders, students, and community participants.
During the event, the Depot Manager highlighted the importance of extending the campaign beyond the depot’s premises. He stated, 'Cleanliness should permeate every village and town. Where cleanliness exists, divinity follows. Where there is dirt, disease thrives.' He encouraged citizens to view this campaign as an ongoing mission rather than a one-off event.
Deputy Sarpanch Anand Kahar remarked, 'We are conducting this Seva Pakhwada to pay tribute to PM Modi’s birthday. It’s inspiring to witness such a large turnout for the cleanliness initiative.'
The BJP is implementing the Service Fortnight - Sewa Pakhwada across the nation in honor of Prime Minister Modi’s birthday, continuing until October 2, which also commemorates the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri.
Throughout the Sewa Pakhwada, the BJP is organizing various programs centered on different themes to ensure active participation from all societal segments. This includes efforts to deliver government welfare programs to the underprivileged, promote cleanliness, guarantee water supply, and lead environmental protection initiatives.
The Seva Pakhwada incorporates activities that showcase the government’s flagship programs, environmental efforts, and outreach to marginalized communities, adhering to the Prime Minister’s vision that politics should serve the populace, especially the impoverished and downtrodden.
