Led by the Veeranganas of Prerna Girls School, teachers and students of the Study Hall School, Vidyasthali Kanar High School, Study Hall Centre for Learning, Digital Study Hall and Gyansetu Non Formal Education Centres came together for an awareness campaign against street violence and to promote girls’ education.They were joined by teams from all the eight Kasturba Gandhi Vidyalayas of Lucknow district. They assembled in Study Hall School on Sunday, November 9th, 2015 and then they were divided into three groups, each more than 200 strong. Raising slogans, carrying banners and placards and singing songs with gusto, they marched in the lanes and by lanes of Ujariyaon, Digdiga and Gwari villages. People climbed on rooftops and thronged the open spaces to see the street plays that were repeated many times.The Veers, the boys from Prerna boys felt proud to carry the message along with the Veeranganas. More than 2000 persons signed the pledge to stop and resist street violence. The campaign touched almost 40,000 people with the message STOP AND RESIST STREET AND DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.
The 13th convocation of Prerna Girls School on the 10th October, 2015 was a momentous and emotional occasion. It was a good bye and yet not a goodbye for the girls because their Alma mater is not just a school .It is more than a home to them. They leave the school, secure in the knowledge that their dear Urvashi Aunty, their teachers and their friends will be with them as they step out of the loving cocoon of Prerna towards a bright future. For the Principal and staff of Prerna Girls School, it was yet another victory, a proof of their determination to not only educate and empower these girls but also to turn them into change makers, so that they can carry the Prerna legacy forward.
Prerna, meaning ‘inspiration’, lived up to its name yet again. This was apparent when thirteen girls who passed their class 12th NIOS examination from the school were felicitated by Dr Urvashi Sahni who awarded them a scholarship of Rs 5000 each to give them ‘Prerna’ for pursuing their graduation in colleges and universities of their choice. In addition, five girls were awarded Rs 20,000 each to pursue their Masters Degree programs by Dr. Sahni.
The fact that 100% girls have transited to higher education is in itself proof enough that Prerna has succeeded in its mission – however, there are miles to go yet and the commitment of the staff shows no signs of waning. They have years of work already planned out.
The convocation ceremony was in itself a heartwarming experience, both for the girls of the school as well as the dignitaries who graced the occasion.
The girls, dressed in the traditional regalia were visibly excited on the occasion, and displayed a sense of pride and achievement.
The dignitaries present at the convocation came to bless and encourage these girls. These esteemed guests included – Prof. Bharat Bhaskar (Director IIM Lucknow), and Mrs.Nandita Bhaskar, Mrs.Shanti Sahni,Mr.Sunil Sahni, Mr.Ashwini Malhotra (Weikfield), Mrs. Preeti Malhotra, Mrs.Sunita Aron (Hindustan Times), Mrs.Kunjshri Jauhri, and Prof.Rakesh Chandra.
None of this would have been possible without the teamwork and the selfless support of our sponsors, Dr. Sahni’s tireless efforts and philanthropy and the seamless dedication of the staff of Prerna – not to mention the hard work put in by the girls.
