This initiative saw active participation from 242,825 children, 26,428 teachers, and 55,247 parents, who collectively spread awareness about children’s rights, safety, and women’s empowerment. Students brought the nine forms of Navadurga to life through engaging street plays. Additionally, during the rallies, children held placards displaying helpline numbers and messages related to children’s rights, safety, and education, effectively raising awareness through powerful slogans.
