New Delhi, Oct 14 Around 10,800 school students formed a human rangoli at an event here under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, depicting India’s key sectors and the vision of a ‘Vikshit Bharat’ by 2047.
The formation featured representations of farmers, technology, youth, the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana, the Delhi Solar Policy and India at the centre, according to a statement.
Delhi Education Minister Ashish Sood praised the Directorate of Education and its team for organising the display and said the country’s future would depend not only on government policies and schemes but also on citizens fulfilling their duties and taking responsibility towards the nation.
He also referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 25 years of public service in constitutional offices and said the Delhi Cabinet had unanimously passed a resolution expressing gratitude to him for initiatives aimed at children and youth.
Highlighting improvements in the city’s government schools, Sood said 9,000 smart boards have been installed to facilitate interactive learning.
He also referred to information and communication technology (ICT) laboratories, Chromebooks in digital libraries and language laboratories offering Sanskrit, Kannada, French, German and Spanish.

During the event, students raised slogans expressing their resolve to work towards a developed Delhi and a developed India.
“This voice must reach the honourable prime minister. He must have full confidence that the youth of Delhi have stepped forward with the resolve of ‘We will do it’,” Sood said.
