It published a book titled Godavari Pushkarams - Darshaneeya Shketralu in 6 languages. It also printed one lakh posters in Oriya, Marathi, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, English and Hindi to be distributed in all the States and Union Territories. About 100 hoardings were set up all over the State besides outdoor publicity campaigns on bus panels.
