Kakching District is set to host the Sardar@150 Unity March as part of nationwide events commemorating the 150th birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Organized by the District Administration, Kakching, in partnership with MY Bharat Thoubal, the campaign will run until December 6. As a prelude to the march, schools and colleges in the district will conduct a series of competitions, including essay writing, poster-making, debate, and quiz programmes. Participants are encouraged to register through www.mybharat.gov.in.
The update was shared during a press conference held at the Deputy Commissioner’s Conference Hall. Officials noted that detailed planning for the Unity March has been completed and highlighted the two-phase structure of the nationwide initiative, launched digitally by Union Youth Affairs and Sports Minister Mansukh Mandaviya on October 6.
In a separate programme earlier today, vegetable seeds were distributed to farmers under the Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) 2025–26 at the DC Office Complex, Kakching. Forty beneficiaries received seeds in the first phase, while the remaining approved farmers will collect theirs from the Horticulture and Soil Conservation Office in Thoubal during working hours. The initiative aims to support vegetable production and increase farmers’ income through quality planting materials.
