Inspired by the life philosophy of the Prime Minister, during Sewa Pakhwada, the spirit of service among the people will be strengthened.

The Chief Minister instructed the officials to hold special programmes during the Sewa Pakhwada to take the welfare schemes of their respective departments to the grassroots level and ensure maximum public participation in these events. He said that many projects have been completed, and a list of such projects should be prepared so that they can be dedicated to the people during the Sewa Pakhwada.
He added that since the Sewa Pakhwada will run for more than two weeks, every department should organize one major programme in each district. Along with this, all departments should also collectively hold programmes across the state. The purpose of the fortnight is to give priority to public service, so in all events, Sewa Pakhwada public welfare and public service should remain paramount. In the meeting, senior officials of various departments presented a detailed outline of the programmes to be organized during the fortnight.
