School Officials Elected, Investiture Held (VVA Primary/Secondary Section)
Election in any institution, be it at national, state or school level gives us a great opportunity to bring a change in monotonous routines that creeps in to the institutions as the time passes. It offers us a prospect to inculcate new ideas in the way we administer these institutions.
At Vidya Vikas Academy, the process of elections commenced initially by nominating the candidates which was done by teachers on the basis of their academic performance, discipline, level of participation in school activities, loyalty, responsibility and leadership qualities followed by Campaigning and Speeches. This was held on 17th of April 2015.
The campaign was feverish with intense and heated debates between the contestants. They also put up attention-grabbing posters depicting the ideas and things that they propose to do if elected and appealing the fellow students to cast their votes for them.
The voting for electing the students representatives for the year 2015-16 was held on 20th of April. The whole election was conducted on the lines of parliamentary elections. We had canvassing, Ballot papers, election staff on duty, verification of names, indelible ink and counting of votes in the presence of the candidates. Many students showed their eagerness and enthusiasm to participate in these elections. Students from classes 7 to 10 took part in voting. The Counting was held on the same day.
As there were several contestants, it was a tough battle fought.
The Investiture Ceremony of the elected Representatives was held on 23rd of April 2015, in the presence of the Principal, Vice-Principal, parents and teachers. Principal, Dr. Alan Rodrigues administered the Oath of Office to the elected representatives.
