Contentment is natural wealth; luxury, artificial poverty
These are the words on which the TEEN CONSUMER CLUB OF BAL BHARTI PUBLIC SCHOOL has been working readily for the past five years since its establishment in the year 2005.
In association with VOLUNTARY ORGANISATION IN INTEREST OF CONSUMER EDUCATION(VOICE),the teachers and the club members have been striving for the augmentation of CONSUMER AWARENESS in the society.The club aims at preparing better consumers in future by sensitizing them towards the various consumer issues prevailing in the society.
The club has been motivating the students and their parents too to become consumer conscious and be vigilant and wide awake on all such consumer products that are detrimental and unsafe. In this regard every year at the school annual function the TCC has been distributing hand outs to teachers and parents that make them aware of their rights as consumers and enthuse them to be a part of this HEALTHY CONSUMERISM.
The club has been inspiring the students not only through speeches and discussions but has provided them a platform to showcase their own views and ideas on consumer issues. Each year the club organizes various fun activities like POSTER MAKING,POWER POINT PRESENTATION,SLOGAN WRITING,QUIZES AND VARIOUS OTHER COMPETETIONS to generate consumer awareness.
Most recently the club has initiated a GO GREEN MOVEMENT that has austerely banned polythene bags in the school premises, the club members monitor this on a regular basis and the club itself provides paper bags in place of poly bags to the students. Under the GO GREEN DRIVE, teachers and students of the school have also started CAR POOLS that saves a lot of fuel because We at the TCC believe that in a consumer society there are inevitably two kinds of slaves: the prisoners of addiction and the prisoners of envy, what we require to be better and green consumers is to move above both.
The club has been a regular witness each year at the IIPM Auditorium for the celebration of NATIONAL CONSUMER DAY ON 24th DEC. The club members were also appreciated for their constant efforts regarding consumer issues by a famous news daily THE TELEGRAPH.
The TCC supported incalculably by the NGO VOICE has appealed to the rationales of its members and has been sufficiently victorious in gathering support from teachers, students and their parents in carrying forward our legacy MOTHER EARTH WITH DUE CARE.
TCC has constantly been shaping GREEN CONSUMERISM in the minds of its followers to have a better TOMORROW…It frequently reminds its members that it require more sense to spend than to earn it.
TCC’s firm belief is that when the awareness of environmental problems penetrates deeply enough into the community consciousness the purchasing power of the mass market will force all manufacturers to green both their products and their manufacturing processes -- on pain of being rejected in the market-place by green-leaning consumers.
With this the TEEN CONSUMER CLUB continues with the slogan WE CARE SO, WE DARE….!!!
