On the occasion, Deputy Commissioner Pulwama administered the Viksit Bharat Pledge to the participants, reaffirming the commitment towards building a developed and progressive nation.
Furthermore, a vibrant Vande Mataram Concert, organised by the Department of Information & Public Relations (DIPR), Pulwama, filled the atmosphere with energy and patriotic fervour through renditions of national and patriotic songs. To mark the celebration, a plantation drive was also organised, symbolizing growth and sustainability.
