"Meri Maati Mera Desh" campaign is envisaged from 9th August 2023 as a culminating event of 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav'. It is a tribute to the Veers and Veeranganas who have made the supreme sacrifice for the country.

"Meri Maati Mera Desh" envisions a unified celebration of India's soil and valour, commemorating the nation's journey of freedom and progress. By connecting with the land and honoring our heroes, this program will instill a sense of national pride and inspire future generations to protect India's cherished heritage.

This campaign comprises many activities and ceremonies conducted across the country at Panchayat/Village, Block, Urban Local Body, State and National levels:

On the Shilaphalakam, names of the bravehearts shall be inscribed. These shall include freedom fighters, defense personnel, personnel of Central Armed Police Forces and State Police who laid down their lives in the line of duty.

Shilaphalakam shall be erected locally within Panchayats/Villages as well as urban sites—likely near Amrit Sarovars or local schools or other prominent locations.

‘Panch Pran’ Pledge

At the memorial site, people will take a solemn pledge covering Panch Pran of the Hon'ble Prime Minister, affirming their commitment to the country. The pledge is given below:
