decided to celebrate it as ' “Seva Pakhwada” '. As PM terms him as country's first ‘Sewak', we would
celebrate “Seva Pakhwada” from today onwards till Gandhi Jayanti. During these 15 days the party
leaders and workers would carry out many community benefits social work including encouraging
people to take a pledge to offer their services towards fighting tuberculosis, promoting Swachh Bharat,
holding blood donation camps, vaccination camps for booster dose, adopting plans for water harvesting,
engaging in environment protection activities and saplings plantation.
In Punjab we would also carry out cleanliness drives in 2000 villages, he said adding we have started the
first day of “Seva Pakhwada” by organizing blood donation camps and we are hopeful to collect around
10,000 units of blood in Punjab today.
