Lucknow, 11 Sept (HS): The Uttar Pradesh government has intensified

Minister Yogendra Upadhyay, Minister of State for Secondary Education

(Independent Charge) Gulab Devi, Minister of State for Basic Education

(Independent Charge) Sandeep Singh, Minister of State for Higher Education

Rajni Tiwari held a meeting with Additional Chief Secretary Basic and Secondary

Education Partha Sarathi Sen Sharma and Director General School Education

Monika Rani and other officials at their residence in Lucknow and discussed in

detail about the preparations and organization of the campaign.

The meeting emphasized the action plan to connect students, teachers, parents,

and youth with the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan through the Higher

Education, Secondary Education, and Basic Education departments. The campaign

aims to disseminate information about the public welfare work, policy reforms,

and changes in the country undertaken during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25

years of continuous service, and to connect citizens with the collective

national resolve of Developed India 2047.

As part of the campaign, the India of 25 Crore Children's Dreams

program will be held from September 17th to October 7th, 2026. Its objective is

to bring the message of 25 years of service and the vision of a developed India

to every family through the imagination and creative expression of children.

The Secondary Education and Basic Education Departments will serve as nodal

departments for this program, while local district administrations and public

representatives will participate.

Under this initiative, drawing competitions will be held for students in grades

5 through 8 and speech competitions for students in grades 9 through 12 in

every government and private school in the state. Competitions will be

organized from the school and block level to the district level. The best

drawings will be selected and a district-level exhibition will be held, where

local public representatives will be present. This will be followed by a grand

state-level exhibition, in which ministers will also be present.

The Higher Education Department will also play a significant role in the

campaign. Youth dialogue programs will be organized in higher educational

institutions, and youth participation will be ensured through drawing, speech,

and other creative competitions on the theme of Developed India -

Developed Uttar Pradesh. Its objective is to connect students and youth

with the country's development journey and make them aware and participatory of

the national resolve for a developed India. The campaign's action plan mentions

organizing youth dialogues and competitions in higher educational institutions.

The India of 25 Crore Children's Dreams program will not be limited

to schools; it will involve parents, villagers, and the general public. This

will ensure the campaign's message reaches families and society at large

through the creative talents of children.

The best entries received at the school, block, and district levels will be

further showcased at the state level. This process will provide students with an

opportunity to showcase their talents, and through them, efforts will be made

to spread the message of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi's 25 years of

service and his commitment to a Developed India 2047 to the masses.

The meeting emphasized that the Higher Education, Secondary Education, and

Basic Education departments should utilize their respective institutional reach

to connect the campaign with widespread public participation. The Basic and

Secondary Education departments will organize student participation,

competitions, and exhibitions at the school level, while the Higher Education

Department will connect youth from higher education institutions with the

campaign through dialogue and creative activities.

On one hand, this will provide a platform to the imagination and creative

talent of primary and secondary level children, while on the other hand,

students and youth of higher educational institutions will be able to share

their role and ideas in building a developed India and a developed Uttar

Pradesh.

In the meeting, special emphasis was laid on effective implementation of the

campaign's activities, departmental coordination and ensuring maximum

participation of students and youth. The 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan' will be

organised from 17 September to 17 October 2026, in which, through 12 major

programmes, the aim is to take the achievements of Prime Minister Narendra

Modi's 25 years of public service and public welfare works to the people and to

connect every citizen with the collective resolve of 'Developed India 2047'.
