Public awareness campaigns were conducted to educate citizens and students on cybercrimes. Initiatives like the Bharoosa Centre and preventive measures at accident-prone areas helped in reducing road mishaps. As part of anti-drug awareness efforts, youth cricket and volleyball tournaments were organized, highlighting the harmful effects of drug use.
