A striking contrast in public screenings is unfolding across Moga district. On one side, various Sikh organisations have taken to screening the controversial movie 'Satluj' in gurdwaras and public spaces following its recent removal from OTT platforms. At the same time, the district administration has launched a massive tech-driven public outreach campaign celebrating the life and teachings of Guru Ravidas.

To commemorate the 650th birth anniversary of Guru Ravidas, the state government has initiated a statewide cultural and educational campaign.

"Special documentary vans are travelling across the state with a target to cover nearly 13,000 villages, spreading the Guru’s eternal message of equality, social justice and universal brotherhood," said Sagar Setia, Deputy Commissioner of Moga. He said that this special initiative aims to introduce the rich philosophy of Guru Ravidas directly to the rural masses, with a particular focus on inspiring the younger generation.

For Moga district, three specialised documentary vans have been deployed to ensure every single village is covered.

"Each van is equipped with a large 12 ft × 8 ft LED screen on which a concise, meaningful, and impactful 30-minute documentary is being screened," DC Sagar Setia said. "The film has been carefully curated to effectively convey the core ideals, spiritual devotion, and egalitarian teachings of Guru Ravidas Ji to the public."

The campaign has entered its fifth day of screenings in Moga district. Screenings were held in Kussa and Lopo today, where residents turned out in large numbers to watch the audio-visual presentation.

The initiative has garnered widespread praise from rural communities, including village panchayat representatives, social activists, and religious figures, said the DC.
