been organised in the country and abroad, in which
�� ministries and departments, with the collective
power of the entire government have connected
the people with it through coordinated efforts.

Mahotsav has energised the present and infused

Kaal. Religious and spiritual institutions have
always been at the forefront of social upliftment
in India. Today, the country celebrates �� years of
independence and enters the Amrit Kaal by making
a 2�-year pledge.The colour of cultural diversity in
the Amrit Mahotsav has given India a new vision
while also connecting it to the thread of unity.
The country is celebrating �� years of
independence, but such coincidences are not mere
coincidences. Prior to 19��, India made continuous
efforts in various fields for its renaissance.
�arious institutions arose to awaken India's soul.
As a result, by 19��, India was mentally and
spiritually prepared to break free from the bonds
of slavery. Similarly, on the occasion of �� years
of independence, Prime Minister Narendra Modi
called for the creation of �� Amrit Sarovars in each
district during Amrit Mahotsav. As a result, more
than �0 thousand Amrit Sarovars have been built
across the country in less than a year, exceeding
the target set. In the last 9 years, the way the central
government has done for irrigation and drinking
water, a new way to increase the sources of Amrit
Sarovar water has been made in Amrit Mahotsav.
The campaign to eradicate sickle cell anaemia will
evolve into a mission with the goal of providing a
healthy environment to tribal areas in Amrit Kaal
so that when India celebrates its centenary year of
independence, tribal families and the nation can be
free of this disease.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has named
Amrit Kaal as Kartavya Kaal in order to achieve
the goal of 100 years of independence. Among
If we have to take India to
new heights after 100 years of
independence, then we have
to work hard for it. And there is
no shortcut to hard work. After
independence, the political
parties that dominated the
country adopted many shortcuts.

Amrit Mahotsav
Changdev More from Maharashtra shifted to Khomarpada Zilla Parishad School in Vikramgad
taluka of Palghar district in 2013. Students in this village either did not come to school or came
for a very short time. To create an atmosphere in the school, Changdev More started planting
trees and plants there. After planting flowers and ornamental plants in the school, when the
atmosphere was ready, they searched for children in the village, admitted them, and started
interesting activities there, because of which the interest of the students towards the school
increased. The problem in the village was that after the farming work was done, the residents
would leave with their children in search of work. More conducted a different experiment to
avoid this. He began growing vegetables on the school grounds and, a few days later, on the
fallow land in front of the school. Following that, he convened a meeting of the parents who
had gone out in search of work and explained everything to them. He instilled hope in the
people of the village and promised to provide whatever guidance they required. Following this,
the villagers decided to start farming instead of searching for work. As a result, guava, onion,
brinjal, gram, cucumber, ladyfinger, and leafy vegetable cultivation began in the village, and it
began to generate income. Some youngsters who were going to work in the private sector also
voluntarily joined this work. As a result, the number of students dropping out has decreased.
