A SENSE OF OWNERSHIP

The elegance and splendour of the monuments give inspiration to the generations to come as  they work as brick and motor proofs of past and are also useful in providing  a glimpse of the country through these monuments. They have always been the illustration of wealth and power of country. Possessing and preserving them becomes every citizens duty. But the thought “I haven’t built them??” takes away the ownership and it tends or leads to I do not need to take care attitude. Do you think any law, a rule or a force can save these mighty structures?? May be to a certain extent but the  best way to preserve them is self – realisation!!!!

 The students of 10^th grade from silver Oaks  The School of Hyderabad feel a sense of  conviction , they are aware and  feel the sense of engagement through various programs of the school. As a part of cleanliness drive ‘SWACHH BHARAT ABHIYAN’ 121 students with their facilitators and physical education staff walked into Golconda fort on 18th Dec and tried cleaning the area as well as  bringing an awareness  in citizens there by setting an example. Their efforts for ‘SWACHH BHARAT ABHIYAN’ were directed towards taking due care of environmental cleanliness and also included saving the monument. Students were also seen taking pride in white washing some walls which were  damaged by scribbling  inside the monument. While students along with the teachers triggered the process it was heart warming to see the onlookers also joining them in taking up the initiatives to preserve and enhance the beauty of environment of the monument. In order to convince the people around them they  made their voice heard, anxieties understood and concerns translated into action for a cleaner environment and save monuments.

It aptly said  “The child is the father of man “ and thus using the powerful agent of education. They have proved that as future citizens they can shoulder the responsibility of bringing about a positive change.
