New Year starts with new beginnings- new sessions, resuming work after holidays and shedding off the woolens and winter of one’s life to welcome spring. In terms of a new beginning, it is truly said,”well begun is half done”, and this is why we plan the year ahead, or in specific terms, make resolutions, to achieve our goals and end the year on a good note with no stone left unturned.
We have come up with three such resolutions, to plan this year in a fruitful way, achieve our set goals and move on to make education the biggest issue:
Creativity Scholarship- What is education when you can’t lead a life of fulfillment and self-reliance? It is the education that we want to implement in the system as a whole, so that mere issues and obstacles don’t come in the way of fulfillment of the thinkers of today and leaders of tomorrow-Children. Creativity Scholarship enables children to earn through their creativity by making cards, and the money rightfully earned is used for the payment of their school fees, ensuring continuity in their source of education. In this manner, children in their formative years learn to become self-reliant which will help them in their later phase to lead life with great skill and dignity of labor. This year we plan to expand and associate more and more students in the Creativity Scholarship activity and increase the circulation of hand made cards in the society.
No Horn Campaign- In this world, when we primarily need a word of care and a kind gesture from our fellow beings to ensure that despite all evils, we need to embrace life and beauty, why have we started treating each other as machines at places of social interactions? Best example of this social interaction is at roads, when each one of us is heading towards his destination- office, school, bank or home. This experience in the city is becoming bad to bitter. With the amount of horn that is blown, without understanding the fact that the vehicle in front of us is not a mere machine, but is driven by a human being, it feels nothing less than an announcement preceding war between rivals. Just stand by the side of a functional road and you will hear the amount of unnecessary honking which slaps hard on the driver like an abuse, and all you’d want to say is- No Horn please.
No Horn campaign this year attempts to awaken the city and urges its dwellers for a better social interaction with less noise and more communication.
Fight Against Coaching Scam- With the mushrooming of coaching institutions bearing completely unacceptable terms & the increasing confusion & dissatisfaction among students, there lies beneath all the advertisements and big promises of the coaching world, deep rooted dirt, what we call as coaching scam. Commercializing education, prioritizing the payment of full term fees at once without keeping up the quality of faculty, promising 100% result without accounting for the total number of students are some common features of coaching institutions, students have raised their voices against this injustice & have placed viable demands to establish genuine system of education & schooling.
