PM Narendra Modi's 76th Birthday: Andhra Pradesh Launches Month-Long 'Seva Sankalp' Health Drive

Prime Minister Narendra Modi celebrated his 76th birthday on September 17, 2026. While political leaders across the country shared tributes, the occasion was marked in Andhra Pradesh by a transition from ceremonial greetings to a large-scale public service initiative focused on healthcare accessibility.

Andhra Pradesh's 'Seva Sankalp' Health Initiative

To commemorate the modi birthday, the Andhra Pradesh state government launched a comprehensive health campaign titled 'Seva Sankalp'. According to Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav, this initiative is not a single-day event but a month-long drive running from September 17 to October 17, 2026 [1].

The campaign is designed to bring essential medical services closer to the people through the following infrastructure and goals:

• Widespread Access: Free medical camps are being held at all Primary Health Centres (PHCs) across the state [1].
• Mobile Integration: To reach remote populations, the camps are integrated with 104 mobile hospitals [1].
• Preventive Care: The state is conducting medical tests for citizens over 18 via the NCD 4.0 survey to identify non-communicable diseases, with results linked to the 'Sanjeevani' system for digitized health records [1].
• Awareness: The camps aim to educate the public on various health schemes and programs provided by both the Central and State governments [1].
