Human Rights Day observed at DAV Public School

Amritsar, Dec 11 (Punjab Post Bureau) – DAV Public School, Lawrence Road, Amritsar, observed a special assembly to commemorate Human Rights Day. On this day in 1948 the United Nations General Assembly adopted the universal declaration of Human Rights Day. The day is celebrated to improve the physical, social, cultural and spiritual well being and welfare of the vulnerable group of people globally. The students presented a role play highlighting the issue of lack of awareness among the illiterate and poor about their basic rights and how they are repressed by the powerful for their selfish motives. The students made it loud and clear through their effective performance that to deny people their human rights is to challenge humanity. The human rights belong equally to each of us and bind us together as a global community with the same ideals and values.

            Regional Officer Punjab Zone A Dr. Neelam Kamra and the Manager of the school Dr. Rajesh Kumar asked the students to be aware of their rights as well as duties and be enlightened citizens of the country.

            Dr. Neera Sharma Principal of the school advised the students to initiate the change they want to see in the world. She added that education plays a great role in the life of a man that makes him unfit to be a slave. She asked them to be aware of their rights and use them in a positive way
