During the tenure of the Yogi government, emphasis is being placed on linking awareness against substance abuse with social participation rather than limiting it to government programmes alone. The cycle rally served as an example of this approach. Staff members of Jan Bhavan themselves took to the streets to encourage people to stay away from substance abuse. As the rally passed through different locations, it attracted the attention of a large number of people and strengthened the resolve for a drug-free society. Through the campaign, a special message was conveyed to protect youth from falling into the grip of substance abuse, create awareness among families, and foster a positive environment in society.
