The meeting venue has been artistically designed to reflect India’s heritage of struggle and sacrifice.
The entry to the auditorium has been themed through the Rani Abakka Gate and Haldighati Gate. Inside, vibrant rangolis depict Bhaktimati Meera Bai and Amrita Devi of Khejadli, symbolising devotion, courage, and environmental sacrifice.
The agenda of the meeting includes review and exchange of annual work and experiences, along with focused discussions on Sangh Shatabdi (Centenary Year) programmes, Panch Parivartan: social harmony, family enlightenment, eco-friendly lifestyle, self-reliant creation, and civic duty, implementation of National Education Policy 2020 and social development initiatives in tribal areas.
