The election for the student council was done through EVM machines. It was a great and new experience for the school students to vote for the leader through the EVM machines. Students casted their vote one after another as they received an identification mark on their index, middle and ring fingers as a sign of participation.
School election process is a time where students get to know about the process involved in choosing the right candidate for a particular post, by using their right to vote and choose a governing body which represents the students of the school as one.
The Annual School Election for the session 2022-23 was held in school premises for all the four houses and school leader, for electing students for the post of House Captains, House Vice-Captains, and school leader. Students from grade 4 to 10 took an active part in the selection process which started almost a week back before the actual election process happened. Nomination forms were provided to the students beforehand. The potential nominees were declared to the members of the each house for the posts made available.
Nominees were selected and judged on their class performance, co-scholastics, participation in school events, individual efforts and initiatives, general attitude and behaviour, and speech. Each house conducted the polling procedure at different corners of the premises. EVM machines were used for vote casting to take place. Students casted their vote one after another as they received an identification mark on their index, middle and ring fingers as a sign of participation. A sense of secrecy and respect for voting could be seen during the election process throughout.
At the end of the process, votes were counted by the respective house teachers and winning names were announced in a special assembly conducted to felicitate the newly formed school council.
This is a pioneer move by school management which gives real exposure to participate In democracy and it also helps students to lead a responsible citizen.
