Approach

The campaign was driven on three broad pillars – extensive reach, convergence of stakeholders, and amplification of the efforts. In order to ensure that every corporate/partner is able to participate & contribute to the campaign, and there is convergence, regardless of their capacity, a banquet of activity options for the campaign was offered to the corporates to choose from and implement. These activities included high-level events, rallies, awareness and screening camps, CME’s, tree plantation, expert talks, oath taking etc. These activities could be undertaken by the corporates anytime during the month (1st March – 31 March 2023) and reported to the CTP Secretariat.
