Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister of India, launched the ‘Meri Mati-Mera Desh’ campaign, a heartfelt initiative aimed at paying tribute to the countless brave men and women who have sacrificed their all for the nation. This campaign has swiftly evolved into a people’s movement, with the objective of honoring the indomitable spirit and unbroken legacy of India’s heroes.
The campaign, ‘Meri Mati-Mera Desh’ (My Soil-My Nation), underscores the profound connection between the soil of the nation and the sacrifices of its people. It serves as a reminder of the heroic deeds of those who dedicated their lives to the service of the country. The soil, symbolizing their sacrifice and valor, also lays a strong foundation for the nation’s future.
As a significant milestone in this campaign, the ‘Amrit Kalash Yatra’ was inaugurated in New Delhi. This initiative aims to collect soil from villages across the length and breadth of India, unifying the diverse cultures and regions of the nation. The collected soil will be used for the construction of ‘Amrit Vatika,’ a symbol of national pride and unity.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, extending his heartfelt congratulations, praised the ‘Meri Mati-Mera Desh’ campaign for its potential to strengthen the nation’s sense of unity and integrity. He expressed confidence that the soil collected from all corners of India will create a nectar garden that embodies the dream of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’ (One India, Great India).
The campaign is not just an act of remembrance but also a call to action, encouraging active participation from citizens across the nation. The ‘Amrit Kalash Yatra’ invites everyone to contribute to this noble cause, symbolizing the unity and diversity that make India unique.
