• The rally was paired with a motivational address by youth expert Swati Basotra and an information session on government welfare schemes led by Dr. Pankaj Rastogi.
• Inaugurated July 31 by Justice (Retd.) Tashi Rabstan, the four-day festival continues with thematic sessions on emotional wellness, youth leadership and substance-free living.
