Commemorating the 150th birth anniversary of India’s first Deputy Prime Minister and Bharat Ratna Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, a grand Unity March was organized from the International Hockey Stadium in Rajnandgaon. The march, filled with patriotic fervor, echoed chants of “Vande Mataram” and “Sardar Patel Amar Rahe” as it passed through Gaurav Path and major city landmarks. Addressing the gathering, Speaker of the Chhattisgarh Legislative Assembly Dr. Raman Singh lauded Patel’s historic contribution in integrating 565 princely states into one united India. He emphasized Patel’s enduring message — that national unity is the foundation of progress — and administered oaths for a self-reliant and drug-free India.
