According to reports from Sandesh, a special public awareness campaign was undertaken by Vigyan Jatha on the day of Kali Chaudas in Targhadi village, located in the Padadhari region of Rajkot district, to dispel superstition and myths. A large number of villagers participated in this programme.
The organisation took a unique initiative to permanently remove the fear of imaginary things such as ghosts, spirits, demons, and witches from the minds of the people. As part of this, a symbolic procession was taken out to attempt to remove the fear of superstition from people's hearts. Through a scientific approach, the organisation proved that no unnatural element such as a soul or ghosts exists in society, but it is merely a delusion of the mind.
Generally, people are afraid to go to deserted places or crematoriums on the night of Kali Chaudas. To break this fear, Vigyan Jatha, as it does every year, organised programmes of having breakfast and snacks while sitting in the crematorium this year as well. Through this activity, the aim was to abolish the fear and orthodox beliefs prevalent in society.
