The expedition will travel through a total of 15 states and 12 Union Territories in the country. The name ‘Yashasvini’ means one who is successful and illustrious and is associated with Goddess Lakshmi. The rally was aptly named given that its purpose was to empower women.

The bikers were all elated to be a part of this event and were excited to explore their very own country on two-wheelers. The bikes provided for this rally are Royal Enfield (350 cc). The initiative was widely applauded and it was thought to be a marvellous demonstration of women’s empowerment.

This bike rally proudly stood for the slogan ‘Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao.’
