Clock ticks down to Mahakumbh-2025, preparations are intensifying in Prayagraj, with the state government spearheading an ambitious initiative to enhance the experience of millions of pilgrims and tourists. At the heart of this planning are the Kumbh Seva Mitras – over 1,000 specially trained volunteers dedicated to making the event a resounding success.
Training for Excellence
Recognizing the significance of this once-in-a-12-years event, the Prayagraj Mela Authority has kicked off the selection and training of these pivotal volunteers. By releasing a “Request for Proposal” (RFP) aimed at securing institutes for training workshops, authorities are ensuring that Kumbh Seva Mitras and more than 6,000 police personnel are thoroughly prepared. Proposals will be accepted through September 19, 2024, indicating a well-structured approach to readiness.
Comprehensive Skill Development
Training programs will cover crucial areas such as crowd management, event coordination, and public relations, equipping volunteers to tackle challenges ranging from crowd behavior to emergency evacuations. With health, safety, and psychological preparedness integrated into the curriculum, these volunteers will not only assist lost devotees and the elderly but also collaborate with law enforcement to manage traffic and resolve issues.
Clean and Safe Environment
Beyond logistics, Kumbh Seva Mitras will also champion cleanliness, ensuring that this monumental event maintains its spiritual significance while embracing environmental responsibility. Their strategic placement both within and outside the Mela campus will facilitate seamless support for attendees, making every interaction memorable.
Vision of Grandeur
With Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath urging a “war footing” approach to the organization, Mahakumbh-2025 is set to be a grand affair that leaves lasting positive impressions on visitors. Gathering, the largest religious event in the world, is not just about faith; it’s about fostering a safe, organized, and enriching experience that resonates with the essence of community and spirituality.
