The students have actively participated in the competition. The photographs are evaluated based on the theme and the winners are awarded with e certificates.

This inculcated strong encouragement to students, faculties and  stakeholders to emphasize the use of the bicycle as a means of strengthening education, including physical education, preventing disease, promoting tolerance, mutual understanding and facilitating social inclusion.
