Awareness rallies have also been organized by women at various blocks and gram panchayat levels. Furthermore, attractive wall paintings with awareness slogans adorn the walls of the district commissioner’s office premises. Special election related Bihu songs composed by the SVEEP Cell are being played in public places to promote voting among the public.
