New Delhi, Oct. 26 -- Education minister Ashish Sood on Saturday launched the campaign "Jal Sangam se Jan Sangam - The Festival of Unity" from banks of Yamuna at Sonia Vihar, marking the beginning of a nationwide celebration of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's 150th birth anniversary.
Under the initiative, students from Delhi government schools collected Yamuna water, termed "ekta ka jal".
They will carry it to 25 culturally significant rivers across the country, symbolising India's unity.
"We want every child to say: I have not come just to study, I have come to build the nation. Our students are not merely reading books, they are learning the art of nation-building," Sood said while addressing the students at the event.htc
