According to the Union Culture Ministry, the 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav' began on March 12, 2021, and had widespread public participation, with over two lakh programs held across India.

From August 9 to 30, many programs will be held at the village, block, state, and national levels to "pay tribute to the veers who laid down their lives for the country," according to the 'Meri Maati Mera Desh' campaign.

The closing ceremony will take place on August 30 at Kartavya Path in Delhi, in the presence of numerous dignitaries, according to the ministry.

'Shilaphalakams' (memorial plaques) honoring the Bravehearts will be installed in local panchayats. According to the government, they will have a message from Prime Minister Narendra Modi as well as the names of people from the region who have given their lives in the service of the nation.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced a 'Meri Mati Mera Desh' campaign during his 103rd edition of 'Mann Ki Baat' on Sunday, July 30. The Prime Minister made the declaration as the country prepares to commemorate the 76th anniversary of its independence.

An 'Amrit Vatika' will also be set up at the National War Memorial in Delhi as part of this program, and soil and saplings from throughout the country will be brought to the national capital in 7,500 pots. Meanwhile, an 'Amrit Kalash Yatra' would be held throughout the country.

This yatra will deliver soil in 7500 pots to the national capital. The nation will also take an oath to fulfill the 'five resolves' or 'Panch Prana' for the next 25 years of Amrit Kaal by participating in the campaign.
