The campaign spotlighted initiatives like the Indira Gandhi Pyari Behna Sukh Samman Nidhi Yojana, offering eligible women Rs 1,500 in monthly financial aid. Artists also emphasised the government’s introduction of English-medium education from first grade in all government schools.

Street plays explained provisions for free education and financial aid for widows, single mothers, and children of differently-abled parents. Performances also addressed the dangers of substance abuse, encouraging people to avoid drugs.

Citizens were urged to utilise these schemes and spread awareness about them within their communities, ensuring wider access to the benefits offered by the government.
