Adani’s 'Seva Hi Saadhna Hai' Pledge: From MahaKumbh’s 4 Million Meals to Puri’s Rath Yatra [Video]

Adani’s 'Seva Hi Saadhna Hai' Pledge: From MahaKumbh’s 4 Million Meals to Puri’s Rath Yatra

In a land where devotion flows not just through rituals, but through service, the Adani Group has embraced a powerful truth: Seva is not just an act — it is Saadhna. Rooted in this philosophy, the ‘Seva Hi Saadhna Hai’ pledge is Adani’s sacred commitment to serving with humility, scale, and soul. What began as a monumental effort at the MahaKumbh — where over 4 million sanctified meals were lovingly prepared and distributed to pilgrims — continues now at one of India’s most divine festivals: the Puri Rath Yatra. As the majestic chariots of Lord Jagannath roll through the ancient city, Adani’s unbroken chain of seva ensures that every devotee is nourished, every offering is honored, and every step of faith is met with a gesture of care. From massive community kitchens to meticulously organized Prasad Seva, Adani’s service is seamless, silent, and spiritually aligned with the heart of the Yatra. #JagannathPuriRathYatra #JagannathRathYatra2025 #PuriRathYatra #RathYatra2025 #JagannathYatra #JagannathPuri #RathYatraLive #RathYatraAdaniNews #JagannathRathYatraStory #JagannathRathYatraLatestNews #SevaHiSaadhnaHai #AdaniSeva #PuriRathYatra2025 #JagannathRathYatra ~PR.152~HT.408~GR.124~

BSF Releases BRUTAL Operation Sindoor Footage | PAK Terror Launch Pads ANNIHILATED In Attack

In a bold response under Operation Sindoor, the BSF struck terror launchpads reportedly used by Pakistani Rangers to infiltrate terrorists. BSF IG Jammu Shashank Anand confirmed that women personnel were deployed at forward posts, with Assistant Commandant Neha Bhandari leading a frontline team. Brave constables including Manjit Kaur, Malkit Kaur, Jyoti, Sampa, and Swapna fought with valor. In Pakistan’s drone and shelling retaliation, India lost Sub-Inspector Mohammad Imtiyaz, Constable Deepak Kumar, and Naik Sunil Kumar. BSF will honor the fallen by naming posts after them—including one to be called ‘Sindoor’. #OperationSindoor #BSF #WomenInCombat #IndiaPakistan #TerrorLaunchpads #PakShelling #DroneAttack #BSFBravery #NehaBhandari #BorderSecurityForce #IndianArmy #KargilSpirit #IndiaFightsBack #SindoorPost #FrontlineHeroes #MartyrsOfIndia #PakistanInfiltration #LOCUpdates #JammuAndKashmir #NaikSunilKumar #MohammadImtiyaz #DeepakKumar #IndianDefence #WomenWarriors #BSFWomen #CounterTerror #IndiaSecurityForces #BSFNews #IndoPakTensions #TerrorInfiltration Also Read After 21 Days, Pakistan Hands Over BSF Jawan To India :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/after-22-days-pakistan-hands-over-bsf-jawan-to-india-4152863.html?ref=DMDesc BSF Constable Detained By Pakistan, His Wife Leaves For Pathankot To Seek Commanding Officer's Response :: https://www.oneindia.com/sports/cricket/bsf-constable-detained-by-pakistan-his-wife-leaves-for-pathankot-to-seek-commanding-officers-respo-4137521.html?ref=DMDesc India Announces Closure Of Wagah-Attari Border: Know Its Historical, Trade and Geographical Importance :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-announces-to-close-wagah-attari-border-know-its-historical-trade-and-geographical-importanc-4133007.html?ref=DMDesc
