At some of the places in the state, by meeting the Ganeshutsav mandals, through the programmes organized by the police and the Mohalla committee education is conducted by placing the points of code of conduct prepared by HJS about what things should be there and what things should not be there is Ganeshutsav. Included in this are the education about problems in the procession, unwanted wastage of money on electrification, noise pollution, immersion and the programmes being held during the festival.
