The nationwide observance, running from October 30th to November 5th, has seen schools and colleges implementing creative initiatives to instill anti-corruption values in young minds.
Theme-Driven Activities Promote National Commitment
This year's powerful theme, 'Say No to Corruption; Commit to the Nation', has resonated deeply within educational communities. Institutions have organized a diverse range of activities including:

- Pledge-taking ceremonies reinforcing commitment to the nation
Student-Led Initiatives Make Learning Interactive
Beyond traditional classroom learning, students have taken center stage in driving the anti-corruption message forward. Interactive sessions and role-playing exercises have enabled participants to understand real-world scenarios where ethical choices matter.
'The enthusiasm among students has been remarkable,' noted one school principal. 'They're not just learning about vigilance theoretically – they're embodying these values through their participation and creative expressions.'
Building Foundation for Ethical Future Generations
This annual observance serves a crucial purpose in shaping young citizens who value transparency and accountability. By introducing these concepts during formative years, educational institutions are planting seeds for a more ethical society.
The comprehensive approach includes engaging both students and educators, ensuring that the message of integrity permeates throughout the educational ecosystem.
