Each district will have a nodal officer responsible for coordinating the Yatra activities. The vans would be equipped with promotional material, films, and digital displays to effectively communicate the government's achievements and policies.

Self-help group stalls and the presence of district officials would accompany the Yatra, facilitating on-the-spot resolution of problems related to pensions, Aadhaar, Parivar Pehchan Patra, agricultural and horticulture related issues.

In addition to the stalls, health and Ayush camps would also be organised to provide basic medical services and address any health concerns, he said and added that to encourage participation among youth, various competitions would be held for students of universities, colleges, and schools located in each village and ward. The winning students would be rewarded by the Government of India, he added.
