జాతీయ ఐక్యతా ప్రతిజ్ఞ

నా దేశం యొక్క ఐక్యత, సమగ్రత మరియు భద్రతను కాపాడడానికి నాకు నేనుగా అంకితమవుతానని ప్రతిజ్ఞ చేస్తున్నాను. ఇదే సందేశాన్ని నా గోటి దేశస్థులతో పంచుకుని, వ్యాప్తి చేయడానికి కృషి చేస్తానని ప్రతిజ్ఞ చేయుచున్నాను. శ్రీ సర్దార్ వల్లభాయ్ పటేల్ దూరదృష్టి వలన, వారు చేపట్టిన చర్యల తో సాధ్యమైన నా దేశ ఏకత్వము స్ఫూర్తితో నేను ఈ ప్రతిజ్ఞ చేస్తున్నాను. ఈ సందర్భంగా నా దేశం యొక్క అంతర్గత భద్రతను కాపాడడానికి నా స్వీయ సహకారం అందించాలని మనసా, వాచా, కర్మణా నిశ్చయించుకున్నాను.
