To mark PM Modi 75th birthday on September 17, the BJP will screen the film Chalo Jeete Hai, based on the PM childhood, across all 243 assembly constituencies of Bihar.

The National Award-winning film, a cinematic tribute to Swami Vivekananda philosophy Bas wahi jeete hain, jo doosro ke liye jeete hain (Only those are truly successful who live for others)--is set for a special re-release across India from September 17 to October 2, as per the press release shared by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

The critically acclaimed film, among the most viewed short films of 2018, will be screened in lakhs of schools and nearly 500 cinema halls nationwide, including PVR Inox, Cinepolis, Rajhans and Miraj.

To mark the re-release, the Chalo Jeete Hain: Seva Ka Sanman initiative has been launched. Under this initiative, Silent Heroes of schools and society--watchmen, cleaning staff, drivers, peons and others who contribute quietly to the smooth functioning of daily life--will be honoured and felicitated. These ceremonies will take place after students watch the film along with the Silent Heroes, inspiring young minds to live not just for themselves but in the service of others, as per the press release shared by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting.

The film is inspired by a childhood incident from the life of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It tells the story of young Naru, who is deeply influenced by Swami Vivekananda philosophy and seeks to understand its meaning, striving to make a difference in his small world. With this initiative, the timeless message of selflessness and service will reach a new generation in an impactful manner. (ANI)
