Student Councils are a great way for students to take on leadership roles, promote the voice of the student body, solve problems and impact their community. A council serves as the voice for an entire student body and actively works with teachers and advisors to promote a better learning environment.

To elect the Student Council, a political campaign was organized.

Our volunteers did canvassing to create awareness about themselves among students.

Canvassing is the systematic initiation of direct contact with individuals, commonly used during political campaigns. The volunteers created their posters in order to develop relations and to make children know them in a better way. They also made vote appeal and Introductory videos so that students could know them in a better way and could select the worthy candidates for representing their Houses. They made their own Slogans, recited them and asked their supporters also to recite those slogans for them. Students also showed their support by creating posters for them. <.p>

They asked questions from the candidates. An interview round was also kept so that the volunteers could express their thoughts very clearly to their House Members. 𝗩𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 is not only an important part of student election, but also a very important part of any democracy. By voting, our students participated in the Democratic process. They voted for leaders to represent them and their ideas, and in turn, the elected leaders supported the students' interests.

Students voted via Google Forms. Everyone was very excited and enthusiastic to vote for the candidate they considered deserving. It was a novel and amazing experience to elect the Student Council in an online platform……..but we did it !!
