In a strong push for environmental conservation, Gujarat Governor Acharya Devvrat traded his official convoy for a bicycle ride in Kurukshetra. The initiative is part of a broader campaign inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's call for reduced fuel consumption and prudent resource use.

Arriving by train, the governor cycled from the railway station to Gurukul, an action appreciated by onlookers for promoting eco-friendly practices. The move underscores the governor's commitment to sustainable transportation, resonating with public sentiments and increasing awareness of environmental responsibility.

In line with his advocacy, Devvrat has urged the use of public transport and fuel-saving measures, including electric vehicles, across Gujarat. He has directed state universities to observe a 'combustion engine-free' day weekly, reflecting a consistent push towards reducing environmental impact.
