Kolkata: The state tourism department on Tuesday organised the ‘Seva ka Rang, Rastra ke Sang’ event at Netaji Indoor Stadium, where students and artists used large-scale public art and ‘human Rangoli’ to showcase welfare initiatives, national symbols and the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.Tourism minister Shankar Ghosh said the event, ‘Sebar Ronge Desher Songe’, was part of the month-long Seva Sankalpa Abhiyan, which features a series of programmes.“A section of our country believes that imitating the West is a sign of progress. Our Prime Minister believes that we, as Indians, should feel proud of the country’s tradition and culture. We will organise different kinds of events centering around ‘Alpana’,” Ghosh said.In a social media post, Ghosh said: “A glorious journey of 25 years of dedication, sacrifice, and tireless public service by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The light of that service has spread from the 750 districts across the country to all 23 districts of West Bengal. Carrying the commitment to stand by the people, the ideal of selfless service, and the dream of a developed India in our hearts, the ‘Seba Jyoti Yatra’ will continue its forward journey.”
