In a heartfelt commemoration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 75th birthday, Chhattisgarh’s vibrant capital came alive with initiatives dedicated to selfless service and visionary nation-building. The fortnight-long Seva Pakhwada, a nationwide campaign of compassion and community engagement, kicked off yesterday, seamlessly blending tributes to the Prime Minister’s life with forward-looking celebrations of India’s development aspirations. A centerpiece of these efforts was the grand photo exhibition on “Viksit Bharat,” inaugurated today by Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly Speaker Dr. Raman Singh, evoking widespread admiration for Modi’s transformative contributions to the nation.
The Seva Pakhwada, spanning from September 17 to October 2 – coinciding with the birth anniversaries of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shastri – underscores the ethos of “service above self” that has defined Modi’s public life. Across India, from bustling urban centers to remote villages, citizens are participating in blood donation drives, cleanliness campaigns, health check-ups, and tree plantation activities. In Chhattisgarh, these efforts are amplified through state-led programs, including wellness camps for women and children, environmental awareness seminars, and youth-led marathons promoting fitness and unity. Local leaders emphasized that the campaign is not merely a celebration but a call to action, inspiring millions to embody the Prime Minister’s vision of an inclusive, empowered society.
At the heart of Raipur’s observances stood the captivating photo exhibition, meticulously curated to chronicle Prime Minister Modi’s extraordinary journey. Titled “From Humble Beginnings to a Resilient Nation: The Life and Vision of Narendra Modi,” the display features over 100 evocative images and artifacts tracing his evolution from a tea-seller in Gujarat’s Vadnagar to the architect of India’s global stature. Visitors were moved by poignant visuals of Modi’s early struggles – navigating poverty and partition-era challenges – juxtaposed against milestones like the launch of landmark schemes such as Swachh Bharat, Digital India, and the COVID-19 vaccination drive that safeguarded billions.
Speaker Dr. Raman Singh, a veteran statesman and former Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, formally inaugurated the exhibition at the historic Vidhan Sabha premises amid applause from dignitaries, students, and community volunteers. In his address, Dr. Singh lauded Modi’s life as a “beacon of inspiration,” highlighting how his unyielding determination and commitment to public welfare have reshaped India’s trajectory. “Prime Minister Modi’s story is one of relentless struggle against odds, rising through sheer grit to serve the nation selflessly,” Dr. Singh remarked. “This exhibition not only honors his personal triumphs but also illuminates his profound dedication to uplifting every corner of our diverse republic – from empowering farmers through PM-KISAN to fostering self-reliance via Atmanirbhar Bharat.”
A dedicated section of the exhibition delves into the “Viksit Bharat@2047” vision, showcasing photographic narratives of India’s strides toward becoming a developed superpower by the centenary of independence. Striking images capture the rapid infrastructure boom – gleaming high-speed rail corridors, solar-powered villages, and innovation hubs buzzing with startups – alongside stories of marginalized communities thriving under initiatives like Ujjwala Yojana and Ayushman Bharat. Interactive panels invite attendees to envision their role in this ambitious blueprint, with digital kiosks displaying youth-submitted ideas on sustainable development and technological advancement. The exhibit also spotlights Chhattisgarh’s contributions, featuring visuals of the state’s burgeoning steel industry, eco-tourism hotspots, and tribal empowerment programs aligned with national goals.

The event drew a diverse crowd, including schoolchildren who sketched their dreams for a “Viksit Chhattisgarh,” elderly citizens sharing anecdotes of Modi’s visits, and young professionals debating policy innovations. “This isn’t just photos; it’s a mirror to our potential,” shared Priya Sahu, a local entrepreneur attending the inauguration. “Seeing the Prime Minister’s path from adversity to achievement motivates us to contribute to building that prosperous India he envisions.”
As Seva Pakhwada unfolds, Chhattisgarh plans a cascade of follow-up events: wellness melas in rural blocks, skill-development workshops for artisans, and cultural evenings blending folk traditions with themes of unity and progress. Dr. Singh called upon citizens to embrace the spirit of service, urging, “Let this fortnight be a pledge to transform Modi’s dreams into our collective reality – a Viksit Bharat where every Indian shines.
“This dual observance of Seva Pakhwada and the Viksit Bharat exhibition serves as a poignant reminder of Prime Minister Modi’s enduring influence: a leader whose life exemplifies resilience, whose service ethic galvanizes communities, and whose vision propels India toward unprecedented heights. As the nation reflects on his 75 years, the message is clear – progress is a shared journey, fueled by inspiration and action.
