Brochures and pamphlets in both English and Kannada were distributed along with a press note. Power point presentations were made by experts.

Rehabilitation packages were discussed, including the starting of schools at major site locations to avoid children becoming victims of child labour

KSPHC officers promised to ensure that all the initiatives were implemented successfully. Brochures and pamphlets were sent to contractors registered with KSPHC and also those involved in the ongoing projects.
