AS PART of the ‘Future Voters Educational Dialogue Series’, an inspiring and informative democratic awareness programme was organised at Anjuman Islamia English Higher Secondary School on Wednesday. Held in the presence of Dr Pramod Shrivastava, Keynote Speaker and District Co-ordina tor SVEEP, Principal, Sabina and all the teachers and students, the primary objective of this program was to engage women and girls from minority communities with voter list purification (ASDR) and voting rights awareness.

 

The programme highlighted that if Muslim women volunteer to participate in the ASDR process and digitise enumeration forms during the SIR, they are not merely fulfilling a formality- but are democratically empowering the future of the entire community. The students were explained about ASDR - Absent, Shift, Death (Dead) and Repeated (Removing duplicate/inactive entries) in simple language to update the list and families were encouraged to implement it.

 

The students were told that, besides being future voters, they can play an important role in the family by filling out digitised voter list enumeration forms, pro viding information about neccessary documents, and getting women’s names included in the voter list.

 

This active participation not only develops demo cratic understanding but also creates a new wave of awareness throughout the family. Dr Shrivastava explained that the students participated enthusiastically and declared them selves ready to spread awareness among the community as ‘future voter ambassadors’ and pledged to contribute to the SIR campaign.
