Parvedh Verma (MP), Vijaya Rahat Kar (President of National Mahila Morcha) and Tarun Chug (National Secretary) will also be present on the occasion.

Speaking of Urvashi's latest initiative, Vijay Goel, Minister of Parliamentary Affairs said, "It is a matter of pride that this society has always taken initiatives to directly reach out to the lesser privileged citizens. I extend my greetings and good wishes to Urvasi Dance, Music, Art, and Cultural Society for all the success in organising the Samagam and all their future endeavours. I am sure this will go a long way in creating mass awareness and spreading the noble message of Beti Padhao Beti Bachao."
