Students take to streets to create awareness on underprivileged in Delhi | Around 100 school students participated in a walkathon here today to sensitise the people on issues related to health and education of underprivileged children. Organised by the Smile foundation, a non-profit organisation, the walkathon
was held under its nationwide campaign 'Be the Change', which is being held from
November 7 to 13. Holding banners and placards, students from various schools
across Delhi, took to streets to do their bit for the cause. The children were
joined by social activist Nafisa Ali, who laid emphasis on the importance of working
collectively by people at all levels to root out such disparities and take the
country forward. "For the progress of our country, it is important that we work
together. Where there is NGO participation, private-public partnership, people's
participation, then of course government is there, until we all work together,
there will be hindrances in our country's progress," Nafisa said. Beside Delhi,
the walkathon is being organised in Kolkata, Bangalore, Goa, Chennai, Hyderabad,
Chandigarh, Vadodara and Nagpur. Smile foundation is working for the upliftment
of more than 100, 000 underprivileged children and youth across 21 states through
more than 120 welfare projects on issues like education, healthcare and livelihood. |
