Commendable decision: 1.76 lakh children of AMC School will make 25 lakh people aware about the lesson of 'Civic Sense'

In a World Heritage City like Ahmedabad, the lack of civic sense among the citizens is often seen. To change this situation, a commendable decision has been taken by the municipal school board. Now instead of just bookish knowledge or rote learning in schools, special 'City Civic Sense' training will be given to make children responsible citizens from the primary level itself. From the new academic session, 1.76 lakh students of 460 schools of the municipal corporation will join this awareness campaign and make more than 25 lakh people of the city aware about the issue of civic sense. The school board will conduct special classes for 10 topics such as cleanliness, obedience to traffic rules, protection of public property, environment and digital civic sense among the children. This was stated by the School Board Administrator L.D. Desai. Desai said. In this regard, School Board Chairman Pragnesh Patel said that under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, students and their parents will be trained by the school board on public awareness to develop the spirit of cleanliness, traffic awareness and nation first among the children. Children and parents will be made aware on this issue • Public Hygiene: Do not throw garbage in dustbins, do not spit on walls or roads and segregate dry and wet waste. • Traffic discipline: Obey signals, do not park vehicles in no-parking and give way to ambulances at the earliest. • Protection of public property: Do not damage government property such as buses, trains or gardens. • Environment: Prevent wastage of water and electricity. • Social etiquette: Standing in queue at bus or railway station. • Digital Civic Sense: Do not spread fake news on social media and do not take photographs of others without permission. • Neighbourhood Religion: Do not disturb others in the society with garbage or vehicles. • Disaster Management: Make way for ambulances instead of crowding to shoot videos at the accident site. • Public Services: Paying taxes and bills on time and maintaining public sports equipment.
