To honour the Prime Minister’s birthday every year, the BJP celebrates ‘Seva Parv’, a fortnight-long festival to showcase Narendra Modi’s commitment to citizens’ welfare and also service to mankind.
The party launched ‘Seva Pakhwara’ or ‘Seva Parv’ on Tuesday, where workers organise blood donation camps and cleanliness drives across the country — mainly at hospitals, schools and other public places.

Upon his arrival at Bhubaneswar airport, PM Modi will proceed directly to the Gadakana slum area near Sainik School, as confirmed by Bhubaneswar Police Commissioner Sanjeev Panda.
During his visit, the Prime Minister will engage with beneficiaries of the PM Awas Yojana, underscoring his government’s focus on affordable housing and welfare for underprivileged communities.
Following his interaction, PM Modi will head to Janata Maidan, where he will officially launch the Subhadra Yojana, under which Rs 10,000 will be given to more than 1 crore poor women every year in two equal instalments for five years.

Narendra Damodardas Modi, born September 17, 1950, in the modest town of Mehsana, Gujarat, has risen from humble beginnings to become one of India’s most influential political leaders. Serving as Gujarat’s Chief Minister for three consecutive terms from 2001 to 2014, PM Modi’s tenure was marked by significant economic growth and governance reforms. His leadership trajectory continued on the national stage when he became the Prime Minister of India in 2014, and he is currently serving his third term in office.
