Dear Editor,
It has become a general trend that every Tom and Jerry is in a race to flout NGO or social organisation to serve for the cause of common mass, but in real sense the agenda behind it is gaining of cheap popularity. Some are just working as advertising agencies of government’s policies, which are comfortably propagated by the government agencies themselves and funds also stand allocated to the concerned agencies for the purpose. Many of such NGOs or social organisations are utilising the readymade crowd in the shape of school children to aware the policies of the government and these school children are badly utilised by these so called social activists with the criminal consent of the school authorities. The innocent parents are deprived of their expectations of better education in these schools but their children are made advertising material for even those schemes whose’ meaning they do not know. The school authorities in one way are breaching the contract of teaching by allowing the children to be utilised by these self promoting groups just to gain their popularity with zero contribution in many cases. These small children are taken out in the shape of rallies and promoters of such organisations leading them to become a public figure. It is right time to stop misutilisation of these school children by NGOs and social organisations and the parents of all the children should warn these institutions in utilising their children for other activities than imparting education.
