Students of St Lawrence International School, Vyasapur, organised a social awareness rally in Ramkheri and Chauwalla villages under the guidance of Chairperson Dr Rajni Sehgal. Through the rally, students encouraged residents to pay attention to important community issues, including a clean environment, water conservation, a drug-free lifestyle, road safety, reducing plastic use, and the message of educating and protecting the girl child.
The students conveyed that small, everyday actions can contribute to a cleaner, safer and more responsible society. They urged residents to maintain cleanliness, save water, minimise the use of plastic bags, follow traffic rules, stay away from drugs, and promote the education, dignity and equal opportunities of girls. They also appealed to villagers to put these messages into practice in their daily lives and share them with others in their communities.
Students Carry Messages of Positive Social Change
The rally brought together several themes that affect both individual well-being and community life. Water conservation and environmental cleanliness were highlighted as shared responsibilities, while the messages on road safety and avoiding substance abuse focused on protecting lives and promoting healthier choices. The emphasis on “Beti Bachao, Beti Padhao” encouraged families and communities to support girls’ education and respect.
School Emphasises Responsible Citizenship
Renowned educationist Dr M. K. Sehgal said social awareness was fundamental to building a healthy, safe and responsible society. He said every citizen should understand their responsibility towards environmental protection, water conservation, road safety and social equality, and contribute to positive change. His message underlined the role of both education and public participation in making social responsibility part of everyday life.
Chairperson Dr Rajni Sehgal said the school’s purpose was not limited to providing quality education; it also aimed to help students become socially aware and responsible citizens. She said the school organised awareness rallies and other activities on social issues so that students could understand their role in bringing constructive change to society.
