Dr Mansukh Mandaviya, Union Minister of Youth Affairs & Sports and Labour & Employment, participated in a 6 km long Padyatra (foot march) organised by MY Bharat volunteers to commemorate the 75th Constitution Day in New Delhi today. The Padyatra, themed “Humara Samvidhan Humara Swabhiman”, began at Major Dhyan Chand Stadium, passed through Kartavya Path and India Gate. The padayatra witnessed the participation of over 10,000 MY Bharat youth volunteers, along with prominent youth icons, Union Ministers and Member of Parliaments.
The event commenced with the ‘Ek Ped Maa Ke Naam’
initiative, during which Dr. Mansukh Mandaviya, alongside
his parliamentary colleagues, planted a tree. Union Ministers such as Piyush Goyal, Dharmendra Pradhan, Gajendra Singh
Shekhawat, Kiren Rijiju, Arjun Ram
Meghwal, Raksha Nikhil Khadse along with other
MPs participated in the Padyatra. Prominent youth icons and Olympics medalist such as Yogeshwar Dutt, Mirabai Chanu, Ravi Dahiya, Yogesh
Kathunia also participated in the Padyatra.
Speaking
to the media during the Padyatra, Dr Mandaviya expressed his delight at the participation of over 10,000 'MY Bharat' youth
volunteers. He also highlighted that the youth of
the country had not only read the Preamble of the Constitution but
had also reaffirmed their commitment to it. He
emphasised that the youth of New India are
progressing towards building a 'Viksit Bharat'.
At the starting point, a comprehensive exhibition showcased the journey of the Indian
Constitution and highlighted the contributions of key
figures. Youth dressed in period costumes brought
history to life by portraying leaders such as Dr BR
Ambedkar and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, providing an immersive
experience. Along the route, the Padyatra featured vibrant cultural exhibitions at various
locations. Participants enjoyed mesmerising cultural performances, including
traditional Gujarati dances, Rajasthani folk dances, and
energetic Punjabi Bhangra.
The
Padyatra, aimed at promoting constitutional values among youth, featured a special ceremony at India Gate where youth collectively read the
Preamble. This activity highlighted the Preamble’s role as the foundation of India’s Constitution and
its core values of justice, liberty,
equality, and fraternity. With Union Ministers and MPs present,
the event underscored the significance of these
principles in Indian democracy. The location of India
Gate, a symbol of national unity, further amplified the ceremony’s impact.
Following the Preamble reading, Dr
Mandaviya paid floral tribute to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose alongside
his parliamentary colleagues.
Youth engagement was central part of the event, with MY Bharat registration drives held throughout the program. Participants could capture the day with Preamble themed selfie points. Along the route, MY Bharat volunteers contributed significantly by setting up refreshment stalls for participants and actively participating in the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, ensuring cleanliness throughout the route of the Padayatra.
The Padyatra successfully engaged youth participants from over 125 colleges in
NCR Region and various organisations including NYKS, NSS, NCC, and Bharat
Scouts & Guides. It served as a significant milestone in
the celebration of the Constitution’s 75th year. The event emphasised the role
of youth in preserving and promoting constitutional values for Viksit Bharat.
