Moreover, the campaign saw the creation of 2.63 lakh Amrit Vatikas.

The ‘Meri Maati Mera Desh’ campaign also encompassed the Amrit Kalash Yatra, involving the collection of soils and rice grains from over six lakh villages and wards in urban areas, culminating in the mixing of soil in one grand ‘Amrit Kalash’ in the spirit of ‘Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat’.

The statement emphasized that the Meri Maati Mera Desh campaign serves as the culminating event of the ‘Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav’, which commenced on March 12, 2021, to commemorate 75 years of India’s independence.
