To promote the spirit of womanhood, a car and two-wheeler rally was organized at Awadh Girls’ Degree College, recently.

Organized by the alumnae association of the college, the rally was flagged off by Brijesh Pathak, cabinet minister, Law, Justice and Alternate Energy Resources, Namrata Pathak, former chairperson, UP Women’s Commission and a social activist, and Upma Chaturvedi, principal of the college. “It gives me a great pleasure to be a part of this event. I think talking about women empowerment will not help unless and until we incorporate it with events like these,” said Brijesh.

The rally started from the college campus and covered five major checkpoints in the city which were provided to the participants in the form of riddles.

The best part about the treasure hunt was that each participant had to click a selfie on the spots that they cover.
Several cars and bikes were decorated with various themes. While a few had pictures of Sridevi, giving her a tribute, others had several messages of women empowerment.
