Amaravati Vidyalaya, Panchkula

In order to foster a positive school environment, the school went onto arranging delivering a discourse on boycotting all types of addictions. The special session was organised by Brahma Kumaris to educate the students to give up harmful addictions and embrace the path of healthy living and positivity. Students were educated to stay away from any kind of bad influence like use of tobacco, alcohol, mobile phones, junk food, etc. They were shown the ill-effects of these through a video and later a ‘pledge-taking’ ceremony was observed where the students professed to stay aloof from these social evils. They were also encouraged to do regular meditation to stay calm and focused. The event culminated with a speech by Principal Manisha Dogra in which she expressed her indebtedness towards the speakers who not only showed the right path to the students but also encouraged them to lead a healthy and happy lifestyle.
