Information and Broadcasting Ministry has deployed 345 mobile exhibition vans at 643 districts, while the song and drama division has chalked out a plan to organise 750 programmes in two phases, with artists highlighting the developmental schemes through various art forms, Ministry officials said.
The DAVP, a wing of the I&B Ministry, has set up 30 exhibitions in 30 states/UT capitals including in Delhi and Andamans, in the first phase ending June 2.
Besides, static exhibitions at large cities and towns like Patna, Ranchi and Jaipur have also attracted more than 5,000 footfalls every day.
The vans have evoked more curiousity in rural areas and banks, LIC and post office stalls for Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana have brought in large crowds, said a Ministry official.
While the first phase of the endeavour marking the first anniversary of the Narendra Modi-led NDA government started on May 26 and ends on June 2, the second phase starts on June 8 and will continue till the end of the month to cover all the districts in the country.
The effort is part of government's plan to reach out to the masses at the grassroots level and help them avail benefits of social security schemes brought by it.
