The ‘Seva Jyot Yatra’ will be organised in every village, while bike rallies will be held in urban areas. At prominent locations, information about Viksit Bharat 2047 and various welfare schemes will be shared and participants will take a pledge.
Special Initiatives for Students, Women and Beneficiaries
The campaign will also feature painting and elocution competitions for students and an ‘Anganwadi Utsav’ involving children at Anganwadi centres and their mothers.
Under ‘Ashirwadacha Diva’ (Lamp of Blessings), lamps will be lit by visiting the homes of beneficiaries who have received benefits from government schemes. The ‘Badlachi Goshta’ (Story of Change) initiative will highlight the positive changes in the lives of citizens who have benefited from government schemes.
On September 17, ‘Aabhar Ani Sankalpachi Rangoli’ will be organised at public places. At schools, colleges and gram panchayat levels, art and theatre groups will present ‘Namo Sevagatha’, showcasing information about government schemes.
The campaign will also welcome the ‘Jal, Jan Ani Seva Sankalp Yatra’, passing through Dhule district, and facilitate dialogue on local government schemes and development works.
‘Jansevak Mahakumbh’ to Mark Campaign’s Conclusion
The campaign will conclude on October 17, 2026, with a ‘Jansevak Mahakumbh’ bringing together public representatives from the gram panchayat to Parliament levels.
Committees have been constituted at the district, divisional and state levels to oversee implementation of the various initiatives.
Thus, by bringing together diverse elements ranging from service delivery and public participation to innovation and cleanliness, and from information about development works to beneficiaries’ success stories, the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ is being shaped as a multifaceted campaign connecting development with dialogue.
