“Creating Generations of Peacemakers”
A Special Assembly was conducted at Shivalik Public School, Patiala to celebrate the “World Population Day” on 11th July’ 2024. A student of class 8 delivered speech on the theme of Population day. Thereafter, students of classes 6 to 8 presented a short skit which dealt with the reasons for the population increase. They showcased the consequences of the population explosion that included food and water shortage, war and social conflict and depletion of natural resources.
Principal of the school was extremely contented to see the active participation and to hear the concern of young generation towards ‘population explosion’.
To mark this day, classes 1 and 2 drew faces representing different aspects of population on a physical map of India. There was also a debate activity held in 9th and 10th classes. The students linked the menace of population increase with issues like poverty, unemployment, lack of education and accommodation.
