To create awareness among the people about the welfare schemes launched by the Samajwadi Party government, a fortnight-long cycle yatra will be launched in the State from August 1.
The cycle yatras will be a medium for publicising the schemes with the “yatris” undertaking a village-to-village campaign. The programme will conclude on August 14 with a public meeting at the district headquarters. After the conclusion of the cycle yatras, a three-day training camp for party workers from Bundelkhand and Madhya Pradesh will be held in Jhansi and Orchha on August 20, 21 and 22.
