Kamjong: As part of the nationwide celebration of the 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, MY Bharat Kamjong organised the Unity March Sardar@150 Padyatra from Chassad Police Station to the Town Hall in Kamjong district of Manipur.
The march was flagged off by Rangnamei Rang Peter, Deputy Commissioner of Kamjong, who also attended as the Chief Guest on Friday. The programme aimed to reinforce the spirit of national unity and inspire greater youth participation in community development under the theme Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat.
In his address, the Deputy Commissioner highlighted Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s monumental role in integrating 562 princely states to build a united India. He underscored Patel’s contributions to establishing a strong administrative framework and urged the youth to emulate his ideals of discipline, service, and integrity. Peter further emphasized that every citizen bears a moral responsibility to preserve the unity and harmony that form the foundation of the nation.
The event was also attended by Jain Huileng, ADM Kamjong; Hoping Chithung, Headman of Bungpa Khullen Village; and Woryar Bungpadang, President of Kamjong Katamnao Long, who administered the Bharat Aatmanirbhar pledge.
Participants paid floral tributes to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, followed by cultural performances and the distribution of sports materials to youth clubs.
