‘India on path of becoming superpower in next 25 yrs,’ says Smriti Irani

She was addressing a gathering at a health check-up camp organised by Chandigarh Welfare Trust (CWT), along with the NID Foundation and Chandigarh University here on the occasion of ‘Seva Diwas’ being celebrated as part of the celebrations of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 72nd birthday.

The camp was inaugurated by Punjab Governor Banwarilal Purohit. He said serving the poor and needy people by organising such a big health camp is the greatest tribute paid on the birthday of the prime minister and exhorted the people to avail the benefits of different healthcare services.

“Not just on his birthday, but the CWT is organising different activities during the 15-day-long ‘Seva Pakhwara’ from September 17 till October 2,” Purohit said.

“It is a matter of pride that this Pakhwara has begun today, on the birthday of Rashtra-Putra (son of the nation) and will conclude on the birthday of Rashtra-Pita (father of the nation),” he added.

More than 20,000 people from different parts of Chandigarh availed the benefits of 11 types of different healthcare services provided at the camp, said a statement issued by the Chandigarh University — one of the organisers of the camp.

Earlier, Irani donated blood at the camp. She also distributed certificates among 100 women who were provided skill-development training in bakery, cookery and sewing under the Sashakt Nari initiative of CWT.
