Celebrities like Tanaaz Irani, Shania NC, Muskaan Mihani along with other people participate in the run at Carter Road in Bandra to support the cause of education. This will be followed by a street play at Marine Drive, concluding the Day.

Naseem Kanchwala, District Rotaract representative, said, “Today’s youth has the passion and determination to take the responsibility to bring change and make the world a better place to live. Rotaract represents the same responsible youth. Being the world’s largest youth movement, we have undertaken various causes, and this year we focus on education.”
