1. VOTE INDIA
Design For Change
Corruption starts from the lowest rung of society to the highest strata. It is up to each one of
us to decide how and what needs to be done to change this pathetic scenario. It may sound
very clichéd but the fact still remains that success in eradicating corruption cannot be
achieved unless & until each individual member of society does his part & contributes to this
important cause. So, when the students and staff sat down to brainstorm as to what should be
the theme and topic for the DFC campaign, a lot of good ideas came to the forefront. But a
consensus was reached and we decided to choose the topic “VOTE INDIA” – our endeavour
to spread awareness to exercise the right to vote. Unfortunately, the major part of Indian
society, is either unaware or ignorant about the importance of their “ONE VOTE”. Since we
are still underaged and can‟t vote ourselves, we took up the responsibility of making these
people aware of their role as Indian citizens.
Our DFC campaign started with a survey that we did on different people and an analysis
made on the basis of answers of questions like – „Do you vote? If yes/no, then why/why not?‟
What are your expectation from the person your choose?‟… etc.
The other activities that were conceptualized were advertisement and a special music video
that went on air on the local TV Channels, Nukkad Natak that were performed at various
strategic parts of the city.
A conscientious effort was made to design a support staff awareness program so that they in
turn, make their family members and neighbours more aware.
On the more creative side, a poster competition was held in the school for the students and
these posters were displayed inside and outside the school premises.
We hope that our effort will bear fruits and will help people understand the
importance of their vote
