Tribute to Bharath - 2025

VT Seva proudly celebrates the 5th year of Tribute to Bharath, a vibrant initiative that honors India’s cultural heritage, diversity, and unifying spirit. Over the past five years, this project has inspired youth to discover the beauty of India’s traditions, history, and values, fostering national pride and togetherness.

A special highlight of Tribute to Bharath is the way it bridges generations. By connecting youth with elders to share stories, wisdom, and experiences, the project builds a living chain of continuity, respect, and shared purpose. As we mark this milestone, we celebrate not just the journey so far, but also the collective commitment to carrying India’s timeless legacy forward.

This year, VT Seva Detroit marked India’s 79th Independence Day with a special series highlighting Heritage sites and landmarks from all 28 states of India every day on the month of August, a journey that reflects the nation’s depth, diversity, and timeless beauty. VT Seva Maryland celebrated with daily posters showcased diverse historic sites throughout the month of August. VT Seva Columbus celebrated the week of Independence Day by sharing posters about Indian Freedom Fighters.
