He added that launching this campaign from the revered shrine of Shri Mata Vaishno Devi carries a symbolic message of devotion, duty, and commitment towards the welfare of society.

The Seva Parv, being observed from September 17 to October 2, will include a series of activities focused on cleanliness drives, plantation, health camps, awareness programmes, and citizen engagement initiatives in every district of Jammu and Kashmir.

The Lt Governor also prayed for peace, prosperity, and well-being of all citizens, and called upon youth, community groups, and volunteers to actively participate in the campaign.
