The theme of World No Tobacco Day in 2024 centre’s on “Protecting children from tobacco industry interference.” This theme of WNTD 2024 is focused on advocating for an end to the targeting of youth with harmful tobacco products.
World No Tobacco Day on May 31 is a chance to work for a future without smoking. This important health day from the World Health Organization shows how dangerous tobacco is. Tobacco kills over 6 million people each year. Statistically, the global tobacco epidemic kills nearly 70 lakh people each year, out of which 13 lakh people die in India alone.
This special day gives hope that together we can help people stop smoking. It inspires us to take action for better health. By uniting on World No Tobacco Day, we can make progress toward a smoke-free world.
In order to spread awareness about the lethal effects of using tobacco in any form. our students of class IX & X contributed by making colourful and informative posters and pledged their support in future endeavours in the fight against tobacco and substance abuse especially by the teen population. The initiative sensitised the adolescent minds to keep themselves wary from such substances. |

“Drugs never helped anybody sing better or play music better or do anything better. All drugs can do is kill you – and kill you the long, slow, hard way.” - Anonymous.
Drugs, the notorious five letter word, has the capacity to inflict unimaginable harm on individuals, especially the youth. As a deadly vice, a growing menace, drugs have an unfathomable power to destroy an individual’s life, capacity and capability, and deprive families, societies and cultures of their value and essence. Consumption of drugs can lead to adverse social, physical, mental, emotional and psychological consequences. Since teenagers are most susceptible and vulnerable to drugs and substance abuse, it is paramount to sensitize them about possible ills and evils associated with drugs’ use and abuse.
To this end, a pledge ‘SAY NO TO DRUGS’ was taken by the students of Classes IX-XII during the morning assembly. The assembly lawn reverberated with the affirmation and firm resolve by the students that they will never consume drugs and will become responsible members of society. |

| We believe participation in the simulation is its own reward. One such platform of simulation is Model United Nations, MUN as it advances understanding of the UN and contemporary international issues, and it has changed the lives of many delegates. Model United Nations aims to facilitate cooperation between countries in International Law, International Security, Economic Development, Social Progress and Human Rights issues. To acquaint the students with the same, SMWSMUN’23 was organised wherein the students from Classes IX to XII played the roles of delegates representing a specific country or a committee namely AIPPM, UNHRC, UNGA etc. Some students of Classes XI and XII performed the role of the members of Executive Board (EB) to familiarise the delegates with the role and functioning of MUN. With a goal to pass resolutions that would resolve the issues being debated, all the delegates of SMWSMUN’23 participated in it with a lot of enthusiasm and vigour. Participation in it also promoted students’ interest in international relations and related subjects, increased their capacity to engage in problem solving, taught aspects of conflict resolution, research skills and communication skills. To encourage more such participation and as a token of motivation, our honourable Vice Principal Dr. Sabina Shergill felicitated the delegates with certificates and books. They were thrilled and thoroughly enjoyed the session as it was an exceptional learning experience for them. |

| According to research, 90% of all road accidents are related to human error. It is not only the man behind the wheel but every occupant of a car, every rider seated on a two wheeler, every pedestrian who is crucial for the safety of all who 'go for a drive' on the roads, streets and bylanes of life. To do their bit in making our roads safer for all, students of Class 10 researched upon and then wrote down essays highlighting the importance of the Four Risk Factors - Speeding, Wearing Helmets Properly, Not to Drink and Drive and Wearing Seat Belts even for passengers sitting in the rear seat. The students of Class 10 also created posters to increase awareness about the bus lane initiative and wrote slogans promoting walking, cycling and the use of public transport. |

“Children should have pens in their hands, not tools.”
Childhood is the most cheerful time in a person’s life. As rightly said above, children should spend this time of their life with ease. They should play, study, eat good food and lead a comfortable life without worries. Unfortunately, not all children get to enjoy their childhood the way they should. Poverty, family problems and many such issues force children to struggle with the responsibility of working for wages. They become victims of child labour.
In order to spread awareness about the necessity to stop child labour, World Day against Child Labour is celebrated on 12 June every year. To commemorate the same, students of classes 6, 7 and 8 indulged themselves in a variety of activities. Students of Class 6 enacted a role play to spread the message of importance of education for children rather than working for long hours in unpleasant conditions. Students of Class 7 watched an animated video depicting child labour and its ill effects. Lastly, students of Class 8 made attractive posters depicting the dire need to stop child labour. Through these activities, students became sensitized aboutthis issue and understood the value of education thereby appreciating the opportunities they have got and thinking about ways in which they can help others. |

“Safety is a small investment for a rich future.”
Nowadays, travelling has become the essence of life whether it be for studies, work, or any other important purpose. But we need to make sure that we, as well as others, are safe while travelling. For this, we need to make sure that we are following all road safety rules and precautions so that accidents can be avoided and others are not harmed because of our negligent attitude.
To spread awareness, the United Nations has declared 2021-2030 as the second Decade of Action for Road Safety and WHO, in collaboration with partners, has organized the 7th edition of UN Global Road Safety Week which was held from 15 May 2023 till 21 May 2023.
To celebrate the same, students of Classes 6 and 7 clicked pictures wearing a helmet or a seatbelt to showcase thatseat belts are the best defence against impaired, aggressive, and distracted drivers. Being buckled up during a crash helps keep one safe and secure inside their vehicle.Also, wearing a helmet reduces the risk of a serious brain injury and death because during a fall or collision, most of the impact energy is absorbed by the helmet, rather than the head and brain. |

One of the many dark days in Indian history was the incident of Jallianwala Bagh Massacre which took place on 13 April, 1919. One of the major reasons behind this incident was the Rowlatt Act which was protested by the Indians.

On the occasion of Martyrs Day, Class IX students had a virtual visit to Gandhi Smriti on 30 January 2023. The video focussed on his last 144 days of his life that he spent at Birla Bhavan before he was assassinated by Nathuram Godse on 30 January 1948. Along with the video shown to them, there was an enactment on Gandhiji's assassination which was depicted by a group of students namely Alpana, Twinkle, Shivalika, Bhumika and Kumud.
The activity gave a glimpse of the life Gandhiji had lived and paid tribute to the father of the nation in a distinguished way. |
