Road Jhansi 20 October 2025 The Editor The National Daily New Delhi **Subject: Urgent need to inculcate civic sense among students** Sir/Madam, Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the general public and educational authorities towards the alarming lack of civic sense among students today. Recently, I observed school children on a picnic leaving behind a trail of plastic bottles, wrappers, and cans, completely ruining the aesthetic and environmental sanity of a public park. This disturbing sight highlights a critical gap in our education system. Both parents and schools play an indispensable role in shaping a child’s character. It is not enough to teach academics; we must emphasize civic responsibility. To sensitize students, schools should actively involve them in community cleanliness projects and eco-clubs. Parents, on their part, must demonstrate responsible civic behavior in their daily routines, as children learn best by imitating their elders. It is high time we stop taking our public spaces for granted. I hope this letter serves as a wake-up call to educators and parents to instil a sense of ownership and pride in our environment among the youth. Yours truly, Kirti |
