ountless such stories of transformation
in a changing India have become the
charioteers of A�adi ka Amrit Mahotsav.
Similarly, the A�adi Ka Amrit Mahotsav
Chas emerged as a symbol of India's
new construction, just as the participation of the
people was seen during the freedom movement
and symbols like Charkha, Salt, and Swadeshi
connected the people with the freedom struggle.
This more than two-year period has witnessed
an unforgettable journey. In a true sense, the
churning of A�adi Ka Amrit Mahotsav has become
a resolution-making instrument for the developed
nation, becoming the Amrit of freedom, the Amrit
of new ideas, the Amrit of new resolutions, and the
Amrit of self-reliance.
During this time, every citizen of the country has
turned into a soldier in the pursuit of resolutions.
�or whom the country's interests are paramount,
because when the country is good, everyone is
good. �hen everyone is content, the country
will advance. Amrit Mahotsav has become the
foundation of this extraordinary relationship. The
Amrit �atra has now begun by giving the next ��
years the name Amrit Kaal. In this journey, India,
eager to realise its full potential, is determined to
reach the pinnacle of self-su�ciency. The rich and
glorious legacy of tomorrow's New India re�ects
today's development journey.
For India, this is the age of youth. If the last nine
years have restored India's confidence, then the
Amrit Kaal of independence is the result of the Amrit
generation's resolve. Prime Minister Narendra Modi
has only good governance mantra. This mantra is
Gulab Singh Raikwar, a resident of Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, has wife, two sons, and a daughter in the
family. His children are all in school. His sons also help him in his work. Gulab Singh Raikwar has
been doing fish farming for 10–15 years, but the turning point in his life came in 2018–19, when he
received an Rs 10 lakh grant under Prime Minister Modi's Matsya Sampada Yojana. This scheme
provided 100% benefit in his fisheries work. He has also begun to prepare fish seed. He also prepares
the indigenous varieties Katla, Rohu, and Naini, as well as the Chinese varieties Silver Corp., Grass

free fish farming training to 1500 farmers.

Amrit Mahotsav
Unforgettable - Amrit Mahotsav
It is written in Indian scripture, “उत्सवेन िबना यस्मात्
स्थापनम् िनष्फलम् भवेत्” which means that no effort, no
resolution, is successful without celebration.
�hen a resolution ta�es the form of a celebration,
it mobilises the determination and energy of
millions upon millions of people. �ith this spirit,
we began celebrating the Amrit Mahotsav of
freedom by bringing together 1�� crore citi�ens.
As the Amrit Mahotsav progressed to an important
stage, public participation became the guiding
principle. The Amrit Mahotsav began on March 12,
2�21, the anniversary of �andi March �� wee�s
before the ��th anniversary of Independence,
and will last two years, until August 1�, 2�2�. It
has become such an elixir in this period that it is
motivating people to live for the country and do
something for it. The energy of countless struggles
and sacrifices for freedom spread throughout
India on this journey. All of this was made possible
by public participation. If the A�adi Ka Amrit
Mahotsav made self-reliance a public movement,
then the colours of art, culture, song, and music
were e�ually vibrant. The participation of children,
youth, and women was seen everywhere, whether
it was the Innovation �hallenge, the Har �har
Tiranga campaign, the National Anthem, freedom
fighters, or the Rangoli competition.
�ue to the second and third waves of ���I�
during the A�adi �a Amrit Mahotsav, di�cult
times arose, and many programmes were carried
out in hybrid mode. There were several events,
including students writing postcards to Prime
Minister Swatantrata Swar, a compilation of
poems banned by the �ritish, the �ande �harat
�ance �estival, and a commemoration of the 1���
�irst �ar of Independence. They are instilling new
energy in the minds of the citi�ens, whether it is
through research and compilation programmes
on the unsung heroes of the freedom struggle,
my village, or my heritage programmes. Public
participation was ensured through programmes
such as International �ay of �oga, the �igital
�istrict Repository, Swatantrata Swar, Mera �aon,
and Meri �harohar. The vision of Prime Minister
Narendra Modi for Amrit Mahotsav and Amrit Kaal
has been very clear. He stated at the outset of this
Mahotsav that by the time he unfurls the Tricolour
for the tenth time from the ramparts of the Red
