Social responsibility is a key facet that we seek to inspire in our students. It’s really heartening to see this gesture of theirs”, said Usha.
The students raised several doubts during the meeting about the district’s capability of handling such situations if a disaster were to strike the place. “We raised the funds in one day. Our students enthusiastically took part in the initiative. We took it up with a view to inculcating social values in them”, said Usha, the self-taught educator.
Anna Francis, a student who met the District Collector, M.Padma Kumar, said she was happy to have been a part of the team. “When I asked the official what he would do if the district is hit by a disaster, he said the district had a well equipped disaster management wing which would rise to the occasion”. “I would like to thank everyone who contributed towards rebuilding the lives of Kashmir’s flood victims. I feel privileged to be part of the event”, said Anjaykrishna, other student.
