Pulwama, September 17, 2025: The District Administration Pulwama ushered in the nationwide #SewaParv campaign with a grand inaugural event at Circuit House Pulwama, marking the start of a 16-day celebration from September 17 to October 2, 2025. This initiative, rooted in the ethos of selfless #service, #inclusivity, and #communityengagement, aims to drive collective action for societal progress across Jammu & Kashmir.The ceremony, graced by Deputy Commissioner (DC) Pulwama, Dr. Basharat Qayoom, and Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Pulwama, P.D. Nitya, commenced with the launch of an innovative live fish vending van to bolster local #entrepreneurship and livelihoods. This was followed by a district-wide #plantationdrive, reinforcing Pulwama’s commitment to environmental conservation and #greeninitiatives.In alignment with #SewaParv’s focus on empowerment, the administration distributed motorized tricycles, prosthetic aid appliances, and other entitlements to beneficiaries, emphasizing #inclusivedevelopment and support for marginalized communities.
These efforts reflect the campaign’s dedication to uplifting the vulnerable and fostering equitable growth.Addressing the audience, DC Pulwama Dr. Basharat Qayoom highlighted #SewaParv as a platform for #inclusivegovernance and #publicservice through collaborative multi-departmental efforts. “This is a movement to inspire every citizen to contribute to a cleaner, healthier, and more equitable Pulwama,” he stated, urging widespread participation in nation-building.The district has planned a diverse array of activities across sub-district, block, panchayat, and ward levels, including #cleanlinessdrives, #blooddonationcamps, ongoing #plantationdrives, #awarenesssessions on health and hygiene, enrollment camps for social security schemes, #entrepreneurshipworkshops, and cultural programs to strengthen community bonds. These initiatives align with #SewaParv’s core themes of environmental sustainability, education, and outreach to the elderly and underprivileged.Preparations for the campaign were meticulously reviewed in a high-level meeting chaired by DC Pulwama earlier this week, ensuring seamless execution and maximum outreach.
The event saw enthusiastic participation from local officials, community leaders, and residents, setting an optimistic tone for the fortnight.As Pulwama joins the nationwide #SewaParv celebrations—coinciding with Mahatma Gandhi’s birth anniversary and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s birthday—the district administration calls for active stakeholder involvement to translate the spirit of #sewa into impactful outcomes for #SwachhBharat and sustainable development.
