Lucknow, 16 Sept (HS): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi

Adityanath has launched the month-long 'Seva Sankalp Abhiyan', which includes a

famous grassroots movement known as Aashirwad Ka Diya (Lamp of

Blessings). Families who have received benefits from the national and state

governments are urged to burn earthen lamps (diyas) in their homes as part of

this effort. The campaign celebrates Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 25 years of

public service and leadership.

The lamp-lighting is scheduled on September 17, 2026, at 7:00 PM, coinciding

with 'Seva Diwas' (Day of Service) and PM Modi's birthday. The movement aims to

convey public thanks and prayer for the Prime Minister's long life, good

health, and ongoing leadership. In addition to recipient households, special

illuminations will take place at river ghats, notable temples, schools, key

infrastructure projects, and hospitals.
