Rashtriya Ekta Diwas was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014, by paying tribute to the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's statue and flagging a program which was known as 'Run For Unity' in New Delhi. A run for unity was held to spread awareness about Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel's contribution to Indian history.
