Jointly organized by the BJP Kangpokpi Mandal and Nehru Yuva Kendra (NYK), Kangpokpi, the march saw enthusiastic participation from students, youth, and members of various civil society organizations across the district.

Prominent dignitaries present at the occasion included Paokam Haokip, BJP State Executive Secretary; Seilam Singsit, Chairman, Kangpokpi Town Committee; Paokhomang Kipgen, Chairman, Kangpokpi Ward No.1; Lunkhoseh Kipgen, former Chairman, Kangpokpi Town Committee; and several BJP leaders and members, all reaffirming their commitment to the ideals of unity and national development.

Adding to the spirit of youth empowerment, sports materials were distributed to various youth clubs across the three blocks of Kangpokpi District, encouraging greater community engagement and physical development among young people.

The event not only honoured the towering legacy of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel but also reignited the flame of unity, strength, and patriotism—reminding every citizen of the enduring power of a united India.

“The Unity March is a tribute not only to Sardar Patel’s legacy but to the idea of India he envisioned—strong, united, and self-reliant,” said one of the organizers, as Kangpokpi echoed with chants of unity and national pride.
