Tripura's Chief Minister, Dr. Manik Saha, officially launched the Sardar @150 Unity March in Agartala, highlighting it as a tribute to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel for his pivotal role in India's unification. Saha emphasized the march's mission to foster the principles of a unified, great, and self-reliant India, especially among the youth.

Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, the 'Run for Unity' began in 2014 to commemorate Patel's contributions. This event included participation from noted personalities such as Padma Shri awardee and Indian gymnast Dipa Karmakar, as well as officials from the Ministry of Youth and Sports Affairs.

The nationwide Sardar @150 Unity March marks Patel's 150th birth anniversary, aligning with the Ek Bharat Shreshtha Bharat initiative.
