According to Gupta, an official organ donation platform modeled after the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization will be introduced during the campaign, and health check-up camps for workers and the elderly will be arranged around the city.

The State Organ and Tissue Transplantation Organization will encourage organ donation, she stated.

More than 5,000 schools and academic institutions are anticipated to participate in the campaign's tree planting and "Mere Sapnon Ka Bharat" competitions by expressing their vision of a developed India through paintings, reels, speeches, and other media.

Additional events will include the celebration of Anganwari and ASHA employees, registration camps for Central and Delhi government programs, and the "Ashirvad Ka Diya" initiative, in which recipients of government programs light a lamp in their homes to ask the Prime Minister for blessings.

Malhotra stated that the Delhi BJP will host events throughout the city as part of the campaign, adding that while exports and rural road connectivity have improved, the Modi government had completed programs that had been stalled for years.
