PM Modi’s birthday marked with ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’; Dhillon, Poonia light ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’ at beneficiary’s home in Pathankot

Pathankot/Chandigarh, September 17, 2026: The Punjab unit of the Bharatiya Janata Party today launched the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ to mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday. As part of the initiative, Punjab BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon and party in-charge Dr Satish Poonia visited the residence of a beneficiary of a Modi government scheme in Pathankot and lit an ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’. Former state president Ashwani Sharma and general secretary Rajnish Dhiman were also present with them in Pathankot.
Later, the two leaders participated in an ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’ programme at the Pathankot railway station, where 1,100 diyas were lit. BJP leaders and workers extended their greetings to the Prime Minister and wished him a long life, good health and continued progress for the country.
Congratulating Modi on his birthday, Dhillon said his public life had been marked by service, dedication and nation-building. He said that over the past 25 years, Mr Modi had held various responsibilities, from Chief Minister of Gujarat to Prime Minister of the country, and worked for India’s development.
Dhillon said several initiatives had been undertaken by the Union Government under Modi’s leadership to extend the benefits of welfare schemes to poor and needy families, strengthen infrastructure, expand digital services and enhance India’s position globally.
He said the Prime Minister’s birthday was not merely an occasion for celebrations but also an opportunity to take a pledge to serve society and the nation. It was in this spirit that the BJP had launched the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’, he added.
Dhillon said the ‘Aashirwad Ka Diya’ symbolised the happiness of families benefiting from government welfare schemes and represented the outcome of public service. BJP workers, he said, would use the campaign to establish direct contact with people, understand their problems and needs and contribute to various service activities.
He said several service initiatives, social activities, blood donation camps, beneficiary outreach programmes and other public welfare activities would be organised across Punjab under the campaign. The objective was to further strengthen the BJP’s principle of ‘Seva Hi Sangathan’, he added.
Dhillon said India was moving ahead towards the goal of a ‘Viksit Bharat’ under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He said BJP workers would continue to discharge their responsibility towards realising the vision of making India a developed nation by 2047 with the participation of every citizen.
Dr Satish Poonia also extended birthday greetings to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said the ‘Seva Sankalp Abhiyan’ would take the spirit of service and social responsibility to the people.
