New Delhi [India], September 11 : Preparations are in full swing for the upcoming Seva Pakhwada, a 15-day nationwide campaign to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 75th birthday.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will organise blood donation camps, cleanliness drives, and exhibitions across the country to showcase the achievements of the central government.
Union Minister Bhupender Yadav announced on Thursday that the campaign will run from September 17 to October 2, beginning on the Prime Minister's birthday and concluding on Gandhi Jayanti.
