Children across the country have put eradication of poverty and corruption as some of the goals for India at 100, in their responses to the ‘Postcards to PM’ initiative of the Culture Ministry as a part of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, according to sources.
The initiative was launched on December 1, 2021 and continued till December 31, with the goal of 75 lakh postcards from students to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The students from Class IV to XII were asked to write about their favourite freedom fighters and unsung heroes from their region and what they wanted India to be in 2047, when it completes 100 years of Independence.
According to sources, the postcards about the children’s vision for 2047 have been digitised and analysed using artificial intelligence to find out what the predominant themes or goals of their writings were. The analysis would be presented as a book and a finale event is planned for the first week of August, where some selected postcards would be read, the sources said. Another source said the students would receive a response from the PM as well.
