Lakhs of ‘Silent Heroes’ to be Honoured on PM Modi’s Birthday with Screenings of Chalo Jeete Hain
National Award-winning film Chalo Jeete Hain, a cinematic tribute to Swami Vivekananda’s philosophy “Bas wahi jeete hain, jo doosro ke liye jeete hain”, is set for a special re-release from September 17 to October 2 across lakhs of schools and nearly 500 cinema halls nationwide.
Inspiring Young Minds
As part of the re-release, the initiative “Chalo Jeete Hain: Seva Ka Sanman” has been launched to inspire students to live not just for themselves, but for others and for society. Under this initiative, the often-overlooked ‘Silent Heroes’—watchmen, cleaning staff, drivers, peons, and other essential workers who keep schools and communities functioning—will be honoured and felicitated.
The ceremonies will take place after screenings, where students will watch the film alongside these ‘Silent Heroes’.
