CM Fadnavis' Birthday Marked With Service Week

A week-long service programme, 'Devabhau Krutadnyata Seva Saptah', has begun in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar to mark the birthday of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. The programme, which will run from July 16 to 22, aims to organise various social initiatives across the city.

The Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Municipal Corporation (CSMC) Standing Committee Chairman, Anil Makariye, has taken the initiative to organise the week-long programme. As part of the initiative, mahaprasad was distributed to thousands of devotees participating in the Lord Jagannath Rath Yatra, organised by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) on Thursday.

The Rath Yatra passed through major parts of the city, including Gandhi Chowk, Sarafa Bazar Road, Machhli Khadak, Gulmandi, Sambhajipeth, Nageshwarwadi, Nirala Bazar, Samarth Nagar, and Bhagyanagar, before concluding at ISKCON Madhuvan. A message promoting cleanliness was also spread during the procession.

Devotees gathered in large numbers along the route to seek the blessings of Lord Jagannath and welcome the procession. The Rath Yatra concluded with a Maha Aarti at ISKCON Madhuvan in a devotional atmosphere.

The organisers have planned several social, religious, and public welfare activities to be held over the coming days as part of the week-long service programme. These activities aim to promote social awareness and community service in the city.

Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar has been actively involved in various social initiatives in recent years. The city has seen a rise in community-led programmes, focusing on issues such as cleanliness, education, and healthcare.

The 'Devabhau Krutadnyata Seva Saptah' is a testament to the city's commitment to social service. The programme has brought together various organisations and individuals to work towards a common goal of promoting social awareness and community service.

The week-long service programme will conclude on July 22, with a series of events planned to mark the occasion. The programme is expected to have a positive impact on the city, promoting social awareness and community service among its residents.

In conclusion, the 'Devabhau Krutadnyata Seva Saptah' is a significant initiative that aims to promote social awareness and community service in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar. The programme is a fitting tribute to Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' birthday and is expected to have a lasting impact on the city.
