Students of the St Joseph group took oath to ensure 100% polling for elections, while students of Khun Khun Ji School formed a human chain to raise awareness.

Children are the real brand ambassadors of the election commission, said Anil Agarwal, managing director of St Joseph group of schools. Pushpalata Agarwal, founder-chairperson of the group, said that children who get their parents to vote will be given 10 extra marks in the annual examination. She told the children that they may not be able to vote themselves, but they can definitely inspire others to vote.

Ahead of upcoming municipal corporation elections to be held in the capital on May 4, school children took an oath to ensure 100% voting.
