“Voters: Creators of the Future": A Street Play for Voter Awareness at JEC on 8 April 2024.

"Prioritize Voting Over All tasks." it was a call to action under the Voter Awareness Campaign as the Electoral Literacy Club of JEC took the lead in organizing a thought-provoking street play titled “Voters: Creators of the Future"on the afternoon of April 8, 2024. The principal, Dr P.K Jhinge, witnessed the entire street play, and his presence served as a source of inspiration for the students. His presence, along with the faculty, inspired the students to perform better.

The objective behind this initiative was straightforward: to educate and actively involve voters in recognizing the significant role they play in shaping the future through their democratic rights. The play also emphasized the significance of every vote, stressing how even a single vote can make a significant difference. It urged people not to succumb to the temptation of bribery and vote for the wrong person. Instead, it highlighted the importance of voting thoughtfully and responsibly, ensuring that the right person is elected for the job. The theme, “Voters: Creators of the Future"was carefully chosen to resonate with the audience and drive home the importance of their participation in the electoral process.

With thorough planning and close attention to detail, the street play was an energetic display of storytelling and performance. Each dialogue was a powerful message, emphasizing the significance of voting forexample :“Loktantramajbootbanakar,/bharat ka utthankarein/Lobhlalach ki tooddeeware/Aao hum matdankarein”
