Dear Parents, Gone are the days when children used to play outdoor games like gilli-danda, lagori, kancha, kho-kho etc. The mere mention of these games is bound to evoke nostalgia for our generation. But will the children of this generation have the same memories? Most probably not, the online activities have taken a toll on today s generation. They like to spend their time playing online games in virtual world rather than having outdoor activities. These practices of theirs sometimes lead them into trouble. Children may get attracted towards some deadly games which may prove fatal in future. Blue Whale Challenge is the deadliest amongst all due to its lethal nature as it instigates suicide and self-inflicted injuries. Hence realizing the crying need of the hour an alarming session on this social issue was conducted to literate young VSRCians against the deadly motives behind this disastrous online game. It was indeed a satiating interactive session as we received affirmative responses from our students end. I urge all the parents out there to monitor your child s social media activities and ensure they are allowed to access them only when you are convinced that they are mature enough to handle them. It would be better to encourage them to participate in outdoor games. Be aware and Be safe! Warm Regards, Mr S K Mishra Principal (VSRCS) ACCOLADES
