| School children present collective environmental pledge to Governor | | | Early Times Report
JAMMU, JAN 27: The Governor, NN Vohra, has emphasized the need for optimally channelising the energies of the youth for taking the country to the highest pinnacles of development and prosperity.
Interacting with a group of students of the J. K. Public School, Kunjwani, Jammu, who called on him at Raj Bhavan, here today, the Governor said, “youth power is the most potent force in the country which can make a real difference in bringing about prosperity in all spheres of development and nation building”.
Referring to the chapter on the Fundamental Rights and the prescriptions in regard to the Duties of the citizenry enshrined in the Constitution of India, the Governor observed that both must go in hand-in-hand.
The delegation comprising 11 students and their two teachers, presented to the Governor a pledge with signatures of student representatives from 16 schools of Jammu on a flex sheet, resolving to create awareness among the people in regard to environment protection. They have also pledged to promote and strengthen communal harmony and brotherhood, abjure violence and safeguard the public property. This pledge was signed by the students at J. K. Public School, Kunjwani on 25th January, on the eve of this year’s Republic Day.
Appreciating the idea behind the pledge taken by the students, the Governor said that they should organize such programmes by associating a much larger number of students at various places and launch cleanliness and awareness campaigns collectively. He added that these activities should be well publicized so that a desired impact is created in regard to spreading awareness among the people at large.
The Governor advised the students to frame this Pledge and Charter and display it at a prominent place in their school so that everyone could read the pledge and draw inspiration from it. He also asked them to keep him informed about the initiatives being taken by them in the realization of their pledge.
The Governor also enquired from the students about their academic and extra-curricular activities and wished them a bright career.
