Yogita was one of those helpers. Yogita also came on the streets at that time to provide food and drink to other relief materials. In 2021, Yogita launched a unique wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital campaign against child marriage on social media. Yogita named this wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital campaign #BalVivahSeBachao. This campaign was to stop the rajasthan government from passing the law, which was accused of promoting child marriage.
In fact, in september 2021, news came that the rajasthan government is going to amend the marriage Registration Act. As soon as this news came, all the social organizations opposed it and alleged that the new bill would encourage child marriage.
Many organizations were protesting at the grassroots level against the new bill, while Yogita Bhayana started a petition against it on the online platform Change.org. He addressed the chief minister of rajasthan Ashok Gehlot and demanded immediate withdrawal of the bill.
Less than a week after Yogita's #BalVivahSeBachao petition started, 20,000 people signed it and then took to social media demanding the rajasthan government withdraw the bill. Soon, #BalVivahSeBachao became a campaign not only of Yogita but of 29,000 people, who had only one demand that the rajasthan government should withdraw the bill. Yogita wrote in her petition
