Seva Sankalp Abhiyan to Connect Citizens with PM Modi’s Service Journey, Says Mahipal Dhanda

Haryana Education Minister Sh. Mahipal Dhanda addressed a press conference at the PWD Rest House on Railway Road in Sonipat regarding the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, which will be organised from September 17 to October 17, 2026, to mark the completion of 25 years of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi’s public life and public service. He said that Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi has dedicated 25 years of his public life to serving the country, nation-building and strengthening India. During these 25 years, from his tenure as Chief Minister of Gujarat to becoming the Prime Minister of the country, he has taken several decisions and undertaken numerous initiatives that have given a new impetus to the country’s development.

The Education Minister said that the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan is not merely a programme, but a comprehensive campaign to take the work of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi over 25 years in the fields of service, dedication and nation-building to every section of society. Thirteen major programmes have been planned under the Abhiyan in Haryana, which will be taken to villages, streets and neighbourhoods, schools, institutions and booth level.

Sh. Mahipal Dhanda said that as Chief Minister of Gujarat, Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi got an opportunity to rebuild the state after major natural disasters such as the devastating Bhuj earthquake. Despite extensive loss of life and economic damage at the time, Gujarat rebuilt rapidly and, in the following years, established a new identity in the field of development.

He said that during his nearly 12-13 years as Chief Minister of Gujarat, a model of development emerged that was discussed not only across the country but also globally. It was due to these development initiatives and his leadership capabilities that public confidence in Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi grew across the country, and in 2014, the people of India blessed him by electing him as Prime Minister.

*Prime Minister’s significant contribution in enhancing India’s pride*

The Education Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, India has established a strong identity at the global level. He said that the conferment of the highest honours by numerous countries on the Prime Minister is also a symbol of India’s growing global influence. He said that the Prime Minister’s vision is not limited to taking India forward, but also to taking India’s ideas and the spirit of ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ to the world. India’s objective is to promote peace, human welfare and development across the world. For this, it is first necessary to make India economically, socially, technologically and strategically strong.

*Road, rail and air connectivity gave impetus to development*

Sh. Dhanda said that strong infrastructure is essential for the development of any country. He said that during the tenure of former Prime Minister Sh. Atal Bihari Vajpayee, historic work was undertaken to connect villages with all-weather roads through the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana. Thereafter, under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, there has been unprecedented expansion in road, rail and air connectivity. He said that today, better road connectivity is available across most parts of the country. The expansion of national highways, expressways, railways and air services has increased opportunities for trade, employment and development. He said that the changes in infrastructure across Haryana as well as the country are visible to the common citizen.

*Decisive decisions taken in the field of security*

The Education Minister said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi, several important decisions have been taken to strengthen the country’s internal and external security. Describing the abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir as a major decision, he said that it has created a new environment of development and peace there. He said that earlier, terrorism and separatism in Jammu and Kashmir had created numerous challenges for ordinary citizens. Today, a major change can be witnessed in the situation there. Similarly, systematic action has been taken against Naxalism, strengthening the environment of peace and security in several parts of the country.
