A deeply touching and significant development has emerged regarding the Sewa Sankalp Abhiyan, which is set to commence in Chhattisgarh on September 17. State Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai personally stepped forward to purchase earthen lamps from a local woman, effectively launching this major campaign. This initiative has sent out a resounding message of public service and respect across the entire region.
A heartfelt interaction at Marine Drive
Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai visited the well-known Telibandha Marine Drive in Raipur. There, he spotted a hardworking woman named Meera selling earthen lamps by the roadside. Without hesitation, he walked right up to her, inquired about her well-being, and engaged in a warm conversation. The Chief Minister's humble and affectionate demeanor won the hearts of everyone present at the location.
Encouraging local craftsmanship with financial support
Recognizing and respecting Meera's skill and grueling hard work, the Chief Minister purchased earthen diyas from her. After taking the lamps, he also handed over 1000 rupees to Meera as a gesture of encouragement. This video reflecting deep respect for grassroots artisans has been garnering immense praise across social media platforms.
The birth of the blessing diya
The very same lamp bought by the Chief Minister has now become the distinctive symbol of this entire campaign under the name Ashirwad Ka Diya. As part of the Sewa Sankalp Abhiyan starting September 17, a unique resolve is being undertaken through this lamp. On September 17, this Ashirwad Ka Diya will be lit in households all over Chhattisgarh, serving as a testament to the labor, self-reliance, and spirit of service of local artisans.
Marking a special national occasion
This program is being conducted to make September 17 extra special, as it marks the birthday of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Such an initiative not only promotes the idea of vocal for local but also conveys the profound message that honoring the toil of the humblest person in society is the true essence of a service resolve.
