Union Minister Lekhi also interacted with the beneficiaries of various central schemes and took a pledge with all present at the event to make the country a developed India with the participation of the public in the ongoing Amrit Kaal.
Union Ministers, Meenakshi Lekhi and Ashwini Kumar Choubey, on Sunday flagged off ISKCON's Shri Ram Padyatra from Delhi to Ayodhya.
She also added that there is a need to live for the country and work for its development. Renowned singer Sukriti Mathur performed patriotic songs.

The two countries signed a cultural exchange programme for the period 2021-25 under which a 50-member strong Indian delegation comprising film personalities of India will be participating in the Tashkent Film Festival next week.
