Students' Cycle Rally for Greater Public Awareness

Interact club of Sri Jnanakshi Vidyaniketan conducted its fourth consecutive cycle rally, to create greater awareness among the public on some important civic issues.

The themes were: (1) Ensure babies get Pulse Polio drops, (2) Harvest rainwater and save water, (3) Plant and protect trees, (4) Avoid plastics, and (5) Don’t spit on roads and in public.

The 80-member rally comprised Interact Club and NCC Air Wing Cadets from Sri Janankshi Vidyaniketan and Swargarani School, and ten teachers.

The rally covered more than 7 km, starting from the school and returning there after touching Mysore Road, Rajarajeshwari temple, Corporation Bank, Munivenkatappa Bayalu Mandira, Ideal Homes Circle and BEML Complex.

Rohith, IX standard student of Sri Jnanakshi Vidyaniketan, has sent this drawing – Children Working for Their Living.

It has a very telling message:

“Why should we pay the price of poverty ? We didn’t create it; adults did !”
