New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday marked the end of the Amrit Kalash Yatra by pouring soil into the 'Amrit Kalash' (nectar pot).  

Modi was speaking at the closing ceremony of the 'Meri Maati Mera Desh' campaign’s 'Amrit Kalash Yatra' on the occasion of National Unity Day at Delhi's Kartavya Path which also served as the closing ceremony for 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav'. 

Addressing thousands of Amrit Kalash Yatris who participated from various parts of the country, the PM said, "While we are culminating an event, on the other hand, this is the beginning of the new resolution...In the 21st century, the 'Mera Bharat Yuva' organization will play a big role in the development of the country. Meri Maati Mera Desh is an example of how the youth together can achieve every target..."

He further stated, "On the birth anniversary of Sardar Patel everyone is witnessing a historic 'mahayagya' at the Kartavya Path...Just like people got together for the Dandi Yatra similarly, Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav made new history with the scale of people's participation."

Modi virtually launched 'Amrit Vatika' & 'Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav Smarak' at the concluding ceremony of Meri Maati Mera Desh-Amrit Kalash Yatra, in Delhi.

He also launched the 'Mera Yuva Bharat (MY Bharat)' platform, which is designed to empower and serve the youth of India as a one-stop whole-of-government platform.

Under the Meri Maati Mera Desh campaign, aimed at paying tribute to individuals who made ultimate sacrifice for the nation, a Shilaphalakam (memorial) has been constructed to express gratitude to the bravehearts who sacrificed their lives for the nation. 

Amrit Kalash Yatra had been one of the key components of the campaign which involved collection of soil and rice grains from over 6 lakh villages in rural areas and from wards in urban areas. The soil was combined in a giant 'Amrit Kalash' in the spirit of 'Ek Bharat, Shreshtha Bharat' which will be used in the construction of the Amrit Vatika and Amrit Mahotsav Memorial. 

Prime Minister Modi laid the foundation stone for these two projects as well during the event.
