Strategies for Challenges • Each one Reach one Campaign has been started by way of sending SMSs to already registered voters in order to take their help in approaching their near & dear ones for enrolment as voter. • Form 6 was supplied to the admission-seekers to Educational Institutions. The effort, though did not receive a huge response yet it made a good beginning. SANKALPA PATRA • Pre printed sankalpapatra for registration given to children along with form 6 • Collection of forms at institution nodal office DISTRICT LEVEL MEETING • DEO/ROs held meeting with Principals & also addressed students in colleges.
