Students during campaign against child labour at DPS in Jammu on Tuesday.

JAMMU, Aug 18: Delhi Public School, Jammu took an initiative to spread awareness among the masses in order to fight back the menace of child labour. Students of the school enacted a street play in Wave Mall Jammu. They highlighted the issue, pain and plight of the child labourers. In this play, causes, need and suggestions were made in a heart touching manner. Children not only highlighted the dilemma and agony of child labourers, but they also tried to provoke the silent conscience of the so called educated class which is also responsible for the engagement of these children as labour or domestic help in a thought provoking manner.
An Art exhibition was also put up on the same theme. In this exhibition, posters and paintings with heart touching messages were displayed. These were prepared by the students of various classes under the guidance of a renowned artist and the senior Art teacher of the school, Suresh Sharma. While appreciating the efforts of children and teachers, Meenu Gupta, Headmistress, DPS Jammu stated that we should regularly perform such activities, in order to awaken the students and the society to curb the menace of child labour.
Ruchi Chabra, Principal was present on the occasion.
