Shilaphalakam Installation

There will be monuments built, bearing the names of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the country. The Bravehearts (veers) will be revered and remembered for their enormous contribution to the freedom, cohesion, and integrity of the nation.

Pledge of Commitment

People will make a solemn pledge at the memorial locations, reiterating their steadfast dedication to the country and its principles.

Veeron Ka Vandan

The relatives of deceased freedom warriors as well as living freedom fighters will be recognized and congratulated. Families of those who perished while performing their duties will also attend, along with retired military people, CAPF members, and state police officers.

The National Anthem will ring out in unison as the National Flag is proudly raised, igniting the atmosphere with patriotism and pride.

Meri Mati Mera Desh Campaign Implementation

From panchayat and village to block, urban local bodies, state, and national levels, events will be staged at various levels.
Young volunteers will gather soil from every panchayat and hamlet and bring it to the block, where ‘Mitti Kalash’ (pots of soil) would be ceremoniously conveyed to Delhi. The gathered soil will be used to build the Amrit Vatika, a special garden celebrating national integrity and the warriors of the Indian freedom struggle, near Delhi’s Kartavya Path.

Amrit Kalash Yatra

There will also be an Amrit Kalash Yatra during the “Meri Mati Mera Desh” campaign. With 7,500 Kalash from villages and other parts of the nation, this “Amrit Kalash Yatra” would transport soil from these locations to Delhi. Additionally, this yatra will transport plants from different regions of the nation. These 7,500 Kalash of earth and vegetation will be used to construct an “Amrit Vatika” next to the National War Memorial.
