In a grand finale to the Meri Maati Mera Desh (My Country My Soil) campaign, a giant pitcher containing soil collected from across the country will be placed at Kartavya Path in the national capital on October 31.
Approximately 8,000 urns carrying soil from all villages of the country are expected to arrive in the capital as part of the campaign, which was launched on August 9 as a tribute to the valiant individuals who sacrificed their lives for the nation.
The soil will be blended and placed in the pitcher that symbolises the unity and diversity of the nation. It will then be ceremoniously positioned in the ‘Amrit Vatika’ (Garden of Nectar) at Kartavya Path, an official in the Union Culture Ministry said.
