March to the Sarpanch of Rural village of Rithala:
Following the rice-pouring ceremony, participants, carrying the matki filled with rice, embarked on a march to the home of the Sarpanch of a Rural village in Rithala area. The march symbolized our commitment to our motherland and our desire to strengthen the bond between the community and its leaders.
Upon reaching the Sarpanch's home, a heartwarming moment unfolded as the Sarpanch himself joined in pouring rice into the matki. This act signified the unity of purpose and a shared commitment to the welfare of our nation.
Conclusion:
The event "Meri Maati Mera Desh" was undoubtedly a resounding success. It achieved its goal of instilling a profound sense of national pride and emphasizing the importance of our soil, our food, and the hard work of our farmers.
