Child Labour is a Menace and needs to be stopped.Children are the greatest gift to humanity and childhood is an essential and impressionable stage of human development as it holds the potential to the future development of any society. However, when they are forced into labour, their mental and physical growth is impeded. To raise awareness on World Day against Child Labour the students of Grade IX A conducted an assembly on Friday, 28th June 2019 which included a speech (Importance of the Day), a PPT presentation, a Hindi poem and nukkad naatak. The nukkad naatak highlighted the reasons for child labour and its effects on childhood. The naatak guided by Ms Neha Maniyar (dance teacher) depicted the menial job done by the unfortunate children and its impact. Our Vice Principal Ms Mili Bhattacharyya, addressed the students and said that the students being future generations it is their responsibility to raise hands against child labour and contribute its eradication. Let there be books instead of tools in the little hands.

Students of Primary section performed various asanas and celebrated this day with gusto. On the one hand, students of class 1 and class 2 performed neck and hands exercise along with butterfly asana, child pose and frog pose. On the other students of class 3,4 and 5 completed Omkar, breathing exercises and advance asanas like Bhujanganasan, Hastapadasana, Pashimotanasa and Surya Namaskar. The unique yoga session ended with meditation and mantras for peace. Teachers of the primary section too joined in the celebration. Our Academic Advisor Ms. Pratima Patell graced the event.

Our Principal Ms. Sharmistha Sinha and Vice Principals Ms Jayasree Menon and Ms Mili Bhattacharyya too attended the event to motivate our young students. Celebrations like these educate children on how to use their bodies healthily, it also boosts their confidence, and they feel part of a whole, non- competitive group.
