School Admission Campaign

Student of South Delhi Municipal Corporation Primary School took to the streets to spread awareness about the ongoing admission policy in their school. They roamed in the midst of busy market in Kotla Mubarakpur, a residential colony in South Delhi. The teacher says, “This is an idea that we came up. We do these street campaigns thrice a week, so that more and more children could enroll for the admission.” The heat of Delhi didn’t seem to affect the children who were shouting slogans like “Siksha ka vikas ho, jeevan me prakash ho” which means ‘Education will lead to better life’.

Sarva Siksha Abhiyan is a Government of India’s flagship programme to achieve enrollment of student for primary education in a time bound manner. The programme also seeks to strengthen the existing school infrastructure through provisions of additional classrooms, toilets, drinking water and maintainence.
