Meanwhile, on the occasion of his 75th birthday, PM Modi will launch the ‘Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar’ and ‘8th Rashtriya Poshan Maah’ campaigns at 12 noon in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh. These nationwide programs, running from 17 September to 2 October, will operate from Ayushman Arogya Mandirs, Community Health Centres (CHCs), District Hospitals, and other government facilities.
Over one lakh health camps will be organised nationwide, marking the largest-ever outreach for women and children. These daily camps at government facilities provide preventive, promotive, and curative health services at the community level.
Nationwide blood donation drives will be conducted under the campaign, with donors registering through the e-Raktkosh portal. Pledge campaigns will run on MyGov, and beneficiaries will be enrolled under PM-JAY, Ayushman Vaya Vandana, and the Ayushman Bharat Health Account (ABHA) for comprehensive healthcare access.

PM Modi will inaugurate the ‘Adi Seva Parv’ in Madhya Pradesh, celebrating tribal pride and nation-building. The initiative will run service-focused programs in tribal areas, covering health, education, skill-building, livelihoods, water conservation, and environmental protection.
