Awareness Activity on Good Touch-Bad Touch and Cyber Safety Organized at Vasant Valley Public School
An awareness activity on Good Touch-Bad
Touch, social awareness and cyber safety was organized today at Vasant Valley
Public School, Ladda, Sangrur for the students of classes Nursery to IV. The
objective of this activity was to make students aware about personal safety,
moral values, good behaviour and staying safe in the digital world.
Under the programme, through an
educational play, children were explained the difference between good touch and
inappropriate touch. Students were told that they should respect the personal
boundaries of their body and in any uncomfortable situation they should say
'No' without fear, move away from there and immediately inform their parents,
teachers or any trusted adult. Along with this, children were also informed
about being cautious of strangers, not sharing their personal information
online and safe use of internet and digital devices. This activity was a
commendable initiative towards making children aware of their rights and safety
under the POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) Act.
The successful conduct and guidance of
this programme was done by Coordinators Ms. Abhinandan and Ms. Sakshi. They
provided important safety related information to the children in a simple and
interesting way, so that they can identify any inappropriate behaviour and take
appropriate steps when needed.
Appreciating this initiative, the
Hon'ble Chairman of the school, Sh. Sanjay Gupta Ji, said that to ensure the
safety of children and their bright future, it is very essential to make them
aware, confident and responsible. He said that along with education, children
should also be conscious about their rights, duties and personal safety.
The Principal of the school, Mrs. Anitha
Rajagopalan, also praised this activity and said that teaching children to
identify good and bad behaviour from a young age is the need of the hour. She
gave a message to the students that they should not panic in any uncomfortable
situation, speak up fearlessly and always seek help from their trusted elders.
She also said that following the rules of cyber safety is essential for every
child in today's digital age.
Thus, this awareness activity proved to
be a useful initiative to inspire students to adopt safe behaviour, remain
alert about their safety and face situations with confidence.
