Events
Wake Up Pune is not a ‘virtual’ campaign. Since the campaign began, a large number of events, awareness sessions and workshops have been held. A selection of Upcoming and Recent events are listed here, as are archives of past events from 2006-2011.
Because of the large number of awareness sessions (especially in schools) it is not possible to include them all on this website. However, all special one-off events are included.
