The Green Pencil Foundation successfully conducted a Sensitisation Programme at Government Boys Senior Secondary School (GBSSS), NIT-5, Faridabad, aiming to raise awareness among students on key social and behavioral issues.

The programme was organized in collaboration with the National Institute of Social Defence (NISD) under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India, as part of a nationwide initiative to promote social responsibility, inclusivity, and youth engagement in community welfare.

A total of 75 students actively participated in the Non-Residential Sensitisation Programme, which focused on encouraging empathy, leadership, and responsible citizenship among youth. Through interactive discussions, activities, and experience-sharing sessions, the students learned about the importance of respect, equality, and creating positive change within their communities.

Speaking at the event, Ms. Jyoti Mangala, Principal of GBSSS NIT-5, appreciated the efforts of the Green Pencil Foundation team for their dedication to youth development and awareness generation. She also presented a Certificate of Appreciation to the Foundation team for their valuable contribution toward fostering a socially conscious environment in schools.

Mr. Sandy Khanda, Founder and Director of the Green Pencil Foundation, emphasized the importance of engaging school students in constructive dialogues that inspire them to become change-makers at a young age. He added, “Sensitisation programmes are not just awareness sessions—they are the first steps toward building a compassionate, inclusive, and responsible society.”

The initiative aligns with the Green Pencil Foundation’s broader mission of empowering youth, promoting sustainable practices, and building equitable communities across India.
