An inter-collegiate essay writing competition was held by the Centre for Social Concern (CSC) and National Service Scheme (NSS) at the College in collaboration with South India Cell for Human Right and Education and Monitoring (SICHREM) here on Thursday. The competition was organised as part of the ‘World Day against Death Penalty’, which is celebrated October 10.
A total number of seven colleges participated in the competition. The results will be announced on October 10, when a series of events will take place to raise awareness against death penalty. Among other things, the events include a walk against death penalty from the Collegee to Town Hall via Kanteerva Stadium, Corporation offices and J C road. The second event is a stunt activity to raise awareness about death penalty, followed by a candle light vigil at the Town Hall at 6.oo p.m.
Sandeep, a member of Centre for Social Concern (CSC), said, “This is the first time we are organising an inter- collegiate essay event. It feels good that many colleges participated. It showed people’s interest in abolishing death penalty, as violence is not the answer.” He also asked for more volunteers to help in organising the event and requested them to join in the cause.
