What Is the Seva Jyoti Yatra About?
According to the Minister, the Seva Jyoti Yatra is the second phase of a month-long programme organised across the country in connection with Modi’s birthday.
The programme seeks to highlight his 25 years of public service. This includes his period as Gujarat Chief Minister and his subsequent tenure as Prime Minister.
Chowdhury said the programme will showcase what organisers describe as achievements during Modi’s 25 years of public life. The focus will include India’s development, progress and sovereignty.
The minister said the programme will also underline the goal of building a developed India by 2047.
The October 7 programme follows the earlier Ashirbad Ka Diya initiative. Chowdhury said that programme was organised across districts to highlight Modi’s administrative achievements and express wishes for his long life.
Agartala Programme to Be Live-Streamed
Live-streaming the West Tripura programme from Agartala will be a notable feature of the October 7 event.
Chowdhury said Delhi had instructed them to live-stream the programme from the West Tripura district headquarters in Agartala.
The minister described the arrangement as an additional opportunity for the district. He said he expected the Agartala programme to attract participation beyond the proposed gathering size.
Organisers Target Large Gathering
Each district has been asked to organise a gathering of around 8,000 to 10,000 people for the October 7 programme, according to Chowdhury.
He expressed hope that participation in West Tripura would exceed that target.
The district-level event will take place at Children’s Park in Agartala. Preparations are now focused on ensuring participation, administrative coordination and other arrangements required for the programme.
Preparatory Meeting Reviews Arrangements
The Saturday meeting brought together senior administrative officials, elected representatives and political functionaries to discuss preparations.
Chowdhury said representatives from different levels of the administration and political organisation attended the meeting.
The discussions covered the arrangements required to conduct the October 7 programme smoothly.
The minister said the Seva Jyoti Yatra will be conducted simultaneously at district headquarters across the country. In West Tripura, the focus will remain on the Agartala programme and its participation.
The event will also present the organisers’ account of Modi’s 25 years of public service and the stated objective of achieving a developed India by 2047.
With the live-streaming arrangement planned from Agartala, the West Tripura programme will also have a wider reach beyond those attending the event at Children’s Park.
