On 17 September the Delhi government will mark Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 75th birthday by leading an all‑day programme as part of the nationwide ‘Seva and Samarpan Pakhwada’. The event will begin with health and service camps at Delhi Gate and Kartavya Path, offering medical check‑ups and assistance to citizens. It is the start of a two‑week programme running until 2 October.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah is scheduled to attend a function at Thyagaraj Stadium where he will inaugurate fifteen development projects. The government will also launch more than 1,000 schemes across 75 districts, including what is described as one of the country’s largest data centres. These projects fall under the Ayushman Aarogya Mandir initiative and include new blocks at five hospitals and 101 community health clinics.
The health camps aim to provide services such as eye examinations and cardiology screening, benefiting elderly citizens and the general public. Officials say that over ₹3,660 crore worth of projects will be unveiled during the pakhwada. The focus is on improving healthcare infrastructure, sanitation, and public amenities, so residents can expect better access to essential services.
Other initiatives slated for inauguration include master plans for public contact centres, nursing schools, integrated command and control centres, senior citizen parks, and a multi‑level car park at Pahari Bagh cremation ghat. A biomass plant with a capacity of 200 tonnes per day will be commissioned to enhance waste management. Heritage parks and awareness portals are also part of the programme.
The series of events and project inaugurations will continue through the ‘Seva and Samarpan Pakhwada’, culminating on 2 October, Gandhi Jayanti. As the projects roll out, Delhi residents should see improvements in healthcare facilities, public infrastructure and environmental management. The initiative underscores the government’s intent to combine celebration with service, ensuring development works coincide with the prime minister’s birthday.
