New Delhi: During his address to the nation on the 103rd edition of ‘Mann Ki Baat’ on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the launch of a momentous campaign called ‘Meri Mati Mera Desh’. This campaign aims to pay homage to our courageous heroes who have made the ultimate sacrifice for the nation.
“In the midst of the ongoing reverberations of Amrit Mahotsav and August 15 around the corner, another great campaign is on the verge of being launched in the country. ‘Meri Mati Mera Desh’ campaign will be launched to honour our fallen bravehearts,” PM Modi said.
A new Amrit Vatika (garden) is set to be built near Delhi’s National War Memorial. This unique project will feature 7,500 urns, each containing soil and saplings gathered from every corner of the country.
“Under this, many programs will be organised across the country in memory of our immortal jawans, including an ‘Amrit Kalash Yatra’, as a part of which soil, saplings in 7500 urns from every corner of the country will reach the national capital to make an Amrit Vatika near National War Memorial,” PM Modi said.
The Prime Minister further expressed his belief that ‘Amrit Vatika’ will serve as a great symbol of ‘Ek Bharat Shresth Bharat.’
The Prime Minister urged all citizens to participate in the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ campaign once again, continuing the tradition of displaying our beloved tricolour proudly in every home.
