Thus, to manifest our love for our brethren in the form of service to humanity and to instill the spirit of philanthropy among our children, the school hosted the ‘Agarsain Carnival’ on Dec 25 in its premises. Colourful stalls with banners added a touch of gaiety and festive cheer. A variety of mind boggling games like ‘Hit the Wicket’, ‘Lite the fire’ and many others provided the crowd with an opportunity to try their mettle and luck. The aroma of the sumptuous snacks and dishes lured all to the food stalls to taste the mouth-watering fare. 'Talent Hunt' proved to be a platform for the talented young breed, inspiring them to take to the stage and put their best foot forward to vie for the various prizes. Numerous fun rides added to the spirit of celebration. The presence of the worthy Management Members lent a solemn touch to the occasion. The Principal with Management Members visited every stall and lauded the efforts put in by teachers and students. The major attraction of the day came with the grand finale of the Lucky Draw wherein exciting prizes were given away to the winners. The winners of the I, II and III prize went home ecstatic, with a 40” Sony Bravio, a tour-package to Manali and a gourmet steamer respectively. Five electric sewing machines were given away as consolation prize. The event lived up to its reputation enveloping all in its magnificence.

Child Labour- A Bane for Society?

A child whose childhood, has been snatched away, Now works day and night, to earn a meagre pay, The hands which were meant to study and play,

Are working now, laboring all day, Out his eyes look with a dream to be free and fly,

His hands though bruised, But his hopes are still high….

CHILD LABOUR is a devil which separates a child from his childhood and puts a question mark on his health, education and dignity. This is a social evil which still prevails in our society. Laws of India are completely against child labor. But still dreams of many children are shattered because of child labor. This evil is a bane to our society. One of the reasons for child labour is poverty. Millions of children are still laboring, still struggling. Sivakasi, a hub of fireworks factory, still employs over 100,000 child labors. Firozabad, a center of the bangle making industry, is a place where slave trade still exists in the form of child labor. Tiny hands slog all day instead of attending school. The poor need to understand that they are jeopardizing the future of their children for a few thousand rupees. An educated child is an asset for the family and has better prospects. The blame lies with us as well. We encourage child labour by employing these unfortunate children as they can be underpaid and are easy to manage. We all have the capacity to be the harbinger of change. To make the dreams of these children come true, let us put a book in every child’s hand, knowledge in every child’s mind and hope in every child’s heart. Because it’s not me, it’s not you, it’s us who will be the change and make our country a better place to live.
