Vote for My Future

An Oakridge Initiative

                                                                ...to mobilize people to vote 

It’s time to act now…

On Monday, 18 November, this program was introduced in the morning assembly by our Principal Captain Rohit Sen Bajaj. He said “It's time for the students to take the “first” step towards the changes that they always wanted for their country” and encouraged the students to participate. He further elaborated that it is not the time for the students to vote but they are a powerful force who can influence people to vote and choose the right leader.

This initiative will involve each and every student wherein each student inspires 10 citizens of India to vote. The student will have to get A PLEDGE signed by 5 citizens who already have voter ID to vote and A PLEDGE from 5 citizens who do not have voter IDs to get their voter IDs and vote.

Oakridge has initiated this public awareness drive in collaboration with an organization Let’s Vote to instil in the citizens of India the value and importance of voting.

It will be done as an activity by the students in their family and neighbourhood to encourage the people to vote. For this activity the students will be rewarded with:

·        Points for Oakchamp

·        CAS hours

·        FA 4 Social studies assignment for CBSE grades 7 to 10

On Thursday, 28 November, the students took the following pledge led by our Vice Principal Mr. Biju in the morning assembly:

We the students of Oakridge International School will inspire at least 5 citizens to vote and encourage at least 5 citizens of India to make their voter IDs & vote to help secure a better future for India.
