IAS and IPS, police officials, corporates and NGOs have also actively participated and promoted these having undertaken specific events like Suraksha Bandhan and Halla Bol. These drives have greatly helped in generating awareness but the recall hasn't quite been up to the mark. It is, therefore, very important that more activities are done to ensure high recall.
