Students of 250 schools in State to take oath against the social evil
CBSE schools across the State are set to kick-start a week-long campaign against dowry coinciding with Dowry Prohibition Day to be observed on Friday.
The campaign is to be held under the aegis of the Council of CBSE Schools Kerala (CCSK), an affiliate of the apex body of the National Council of CBSE Schools.
CCSK has issued a circular to managers and principals of 250-odd schools under its jurisdiction to organise an oath-taking ceremony against dowry by students during the assembly on Friday. The oath is against demanding and receiving dowry while committing students to do the fight against it. Schools have also been asked to record videos of the oath-taking and send them to CCSK for making a collage of videos delivering the message against the social evil.
