“Adopting Swadeshi is Essential to Fulfilling the Dream of a Self-Reliant India,” Social Worker  Amitabh Rungta

Panchkula, October 8, 2025: In a powerful display of patriotism and community spirit, the Purushottam Das Rungta Charitable Trust, in collaboration with Government College for Women (Sector 14), Muktinath Ved Vidyashram (Sanskrit Gurukul), and the Mansa Devi Pooja Sthal Board Campus, organized a large-scale ‘Swadeshi Adoption Awareness Campaign’ to promote the use of indigenous products and inspire national self-reliance.

The highlight of the campaign was a spirited walkathon involving students, teachers, and local citizens. The walk was flagged off by Amitabh Rungta, prominent social activist and founder of the Purushottam Das Rungta Charitable Trust.

This campaign is a step towards making people aware of their responsibilities toward the nation.
