A group of 24 students from class 8th at The Riverside School conducted an anti-tobacco campaign called "Jaano Jaago Jagao" from September 23rd to 30th, 2010. They created awareness about the health effects of tobacco by putting up posters, performing street plays, and conducting surveys in their school, nearby neighborhoods, a blind school, and public areas like markets and parks. In total, they educated around 2,500 people, including students, staff, Basti residents, and visitors to the zoo. The students were trained to understand the socio-economic factors contributing to tobacco abuse and how to communicate effectively about its risks.
The annual report summarizes the organization's activities in 2018. It operated 7 projects across 4 locations, helping 184 people through 44 types of services. It strengthened its team of 10 workers and operated 3 social houses, including a hostel, social space, and sewing workshop. The organization's goals are to help children and families in difficult life situations through services like housing, education, job opportunities, and community support. It aims to promote positive values and help those in need gain independence.
The document proposes a campaign to engage young people in donating to help feed hungry children in Africa. It suggests launching an interactive gaming platform where students can play as children in Africa and help them by donating small amounts. Donating quarters at school would provide codes to continue playing and helping in the game. Recognition for top donors through school honors would encourage further participation.
The students organized an awareness campaign in their local community about the harms of gutkha addiction. They surveyed 230 households and found that 40% had family members who chewed gutkha. The students held a rally and performed street plays to educate residents. After their efforts, they found that almost 50% of previous gutkha users had stopped chewing. The campaign opened the students' eyes to the widespread problem of gutkha addiction in their own families and neighborhood.
The document summarizes a school's efforts to improve its midday meal program. It notes that initially children were not using plates or spoons and much food was being wasted. The school then began monitoring the program, planning meal quantities better, and taking suggestions. As a result, children now receive meals in an organized way using plates and spoons, clean up afterwards, and waste less food, with both children and management pleased with the changes.
The students at GPS Maclodguda school in Secundrabad, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh organized a rally to address dirty drainage water flowing in front of their school.

3. After the demonstration at school, the parents agreed to use electricity more efficiently and change their habits around electricity usage.
The document summarizes the "Inclusion Project" carried out by students at APL Global School in Chennai, India. The project aimed to address the feelings of alienation experienced by some students. It involved several activities over different steps, including a silent hour to sensitize students to those with hearing impairments, having students get to know a randomly assigned partner, wearing badges highlighting positive characteristics, and painting a wall with handprints as a symbol of togetherness. Feedback showed the project had a positive impact on making students more tolerant and helping them make new friends.

When their petition to the village panchayat did not receive a proper response, the children, with the help of their teacher, took the initiative to clean the area themselves. The document outlines the objectives of encouraging children's participation in community issues and debates, the issue the children addressed of cleaning around their learning center, and the action they took when the panchayat did not respond by cleaning the area themselves.
Children from AID INDIA Superkidz Centers in Vellore, Cuddaore, Kanchipuram, Krishnagiri, and Dharmapuri participated in cleaning up waste dumped near their school campus in Vempalli Village, Krishnagiri District. The children cleaned the area around the school, and insisted that people stop dumping waste there. As a result, the local community is now more mindful about not littering near the school.
Children from 66 AID INDIA Eureka Superkidz Centers participated in a Design for Change contest. In the village of Palavathimmanapalli in Krishnagiri District, children created awareness among parents about the importance of saving water by closing taps immediately after use to prevent wastage. As a result of the children's efforts, the villagers gradually started conserving water by following this instruction. The project was facilitated by AID INDIA.
The children of Manjakollai village in Cuddalore District participated in cleaning the local water canal. The canal was a secondary source of water for the village but had become polluted with weeds and plants, limiting its usage. When the village council did not adequately address their petition, the children took matters into their own hands and cleared the weeds and plants from the canal to improve water access for the community.
Children from AID INDIA centers in Krishnagiri District participated in a design contest to solve the problem of lack of electricity at the SHG building in Imadinayakanapalli village. The children petitioned the local panchayat about the issue since it was difficult for them to study at night. A team of 5 children - Nandhini, Lalithkumar, Bavani, Sathish and Kasthuri - worked with AID India representative Nagaraj and volunteer Poolakshmi on a solution to bring electricity to the building.
Children from villages in Vellore, Cuddaore, Kanchipuram, Krishnagiri, and Dharmapuri districts identified issues their villages faced due to a lack of proper street lighting. They determined which streets needed lights most urgently based on traffic. The children then prepared a petition signed by village members requesting the installation of new street lights, which they submitted to their local village council.
1. Jaano Jaago Jagao- an anti-tobacco campaign started from 23rd to 30th
September 2010 under the project “Design for Social Change”, world’s
largest school contest, organized by Director Kiran Bir Sethi, Director-The
Riverside School in association with social activist and film actor Rahul
Bose. Through this we attempt to cater to the problem of tobacco abuse
creating various health problems in the city. Our students were sensitized to
generate awareness, understand the socio-economic gap in the society and
the needs of the disabled or underprivileged children by exposing them to
their problems and unhealthy surroundings they are living in.
A group of 24 students from class VIIIth were selected and trained to carry
out this project. Awareness on ill effects of using tobacco (in the form of
cigarettes, or chewing) was given to various people in the school at all levels
primary, secondary and senior secondary, the fore class employees in the
school-the bus drivers, security guards, in bastis around the school (Sunder
Basti and Nizamuddin Basti), NGO’s, and people visiting the Delhi Zoo as
well as Sunder Nagar Market. Our children displayed posters in all these
areas, conducted street plays and surveys by using W.H.O ‘s questionnaires
on Drug/Tobacco Abuse to generate awareness, and interviewed people on
the streets, at the paan waalaa’s (panwaari’s) cigarette selling shops. They
also visited the Blind school and conducted interactive sessions with the
underprivileged students studying in the Ibtida Shiksha Kendra (an afternoon
school running in our school premises only). They also took sessions
amongst their peer groups as well in the junior classes such as 6th and 7th to
spread awareness and give the message “Say No to Tobacco”.
