Prominent among those present on the occasion included Sarpanch, Bandhana Devi, Naib Sarpanch, Kamal Singh, Jagish Poonia, Deepak Singh besides others.
Speaking on the occasion, Jasrotia said “We are living in independent India, and for this, millions have made sacrifices’’. He added that from 1857 to 1947, for 90 years, a long struggle for freedom was fought, and countless known and unknown freedom fighters sacrificed their lives to the cause. He said that only a person like Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, could have imagined initiating this journey of “Sankalp se Siddhi”, by taking a pledge with ‘Mitti’’ in his hand and paying homage to those who have made the sacrifices.
Jasrotia said that the idea behind this programme is that every individual, family, citizen, and child should connect emotionally with the idea of creation of great India. He said that Narendra Modi will put soil from these Amrit Kalash in the Amrit Vatika created at Delhi in honour of our great veers, which will keep on reminding every citizen that we must make India great during the period of Amritkal.
Jasrotia said that under the leadership of Narendra Modi, organisation of over two lakh programmes during the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav have once again awakened the spirit of patriotism in the entire nation and these programmes will conclude with Meri Mati-Mera Desh programme. He said that 23 crore houses, offices and buildings across the country were beautified with the Tricolour after Prime Minister’s call for ‘Har Ghar Tiranga Abhiyan’. He said that the whole country joined the Abhiyan by respecting the call of PM Modi and the result of this patriotic feeling was that recently our Chandrayaan reached the Shivshakti point on the Moon, which is a very proud moment for all the countrymen.
He said that today our economy has moved from 11th to 5th position in the world and soon we will become the 3rd largest economy.
