Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 76th birthday is being observed on September 17, 2026, with the BJP launching a month-long Seva Sankalp Abhiyan across Odisha and other parts of the country. In Odisha, the campaign is scheduled to continue until October 17 and includes public service, outreach and social activities.
The Odisha BJP has announced 13 major programmes as part of the campaign. These include blood donation drives, tree plantation, awareness activities, competitions and other programmes involving different sections of society.
Mega Blood Donation Camp in Bhubaneswar
In Bhubaneswar, the BJP Yuva Morcha is organising a mega blood donation camp at the Unit-III Exhibition Ground on September 17. The event is part of the wider Seva Sankalp Abhiyan being conducted to mark the Prime Minister’s birthday.
According to the programme details announced before the event, the organisers planned a large-scale blood collection drive along with activities such as a documentary screening, street theatre and an exhibition focused on youth-related government schemes. The Yuva Morcha had also announced an attempt to set a record for blood collection at a single venue in one day.
The campaign in Odisha is not limited to Bhubaneswar. The state BJP has said programmes will be organised from the organisational district level down to mandals and booths, with participation planned from youth, women, students, farmers and other groups.
Seva Sankalp Abhiyan to Continue Until October 17
The Seva Sankalp Abhiyan in Odisha will run from September 17 to October 17. The BJP has described the campaign as an initiative centred on public service and social participation while also marking Prime Minister Modi’s 25 years in public life.
Among the programmes announced by the Odisha BJP are the Seva Jyoti Yatra, Anganwadi-related activities, Viksit Bharat Sankalp Yatra, innovation initiatives for young people and a Janasebera Mahakumbha.
A separate ‘Ashirwad Ka Diya’ programme has also been announced for September 17. Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi had appealed to people to light an earthen lamp at homes, temples or other prominent places on the Prime Minister’s birthday.
Seva Sankalp Bike Yatra From Varanasi to Vadnagar
