VOTING AWARENESS CAMPAIGN

Rizvi Education Society, which has 15,000 students spread over eight institutions situated in its sprawling campus in Bandra (W), launched a unique campaign on Monday, February 6, 2012, to get the youth to take part in big numbers in the upcoming BMC elections. The entire campaign was to sensitise the youth to respect and be responsible for the Democracy offered to them on a platter. And a very important aspect of Democracy is the process of casting vote in all forms of elections in the country. The nine day long campaign made attempts to create an impact on the youth of the importance of their vote and the role it has to play in a democratic nation. The campaign was designed in such a way that it shall strike an emotional as well as rational cord with the youth and gear them to take their responsibilities seriously.
