Rama: I think, effective education and awareness programs, strict
rules, regulations and laws should be practised to control
such social evils. Besides these, there must be control over
impunity and corruption.

Teacher: Tony, you seem curious to say something. Will you like to add
some more?

Tony: Yes, sir ! We should form a children’s club and raise voices
against such evil practices. We should rally with banners
and placards. We should also aware people with posters,
pamphlets and street dramas. Different NGOs/INGOs, youth
clubs should activate themselves effectively. (Meanwhile, the
bell rings)

Teacher: Now, the bell has rang. All of you have shared your opinions
very well.
