DIWALI SPEECH FOR SCHOOL STUDENTS 2

Hon’ble Vice Principal, Beloved Teachers and My Dear Students – Warm Greetings to Everyone!

You all know that the festival of Diwali is nearly approaching and I believe that you are excited to celebrate this auspicious festival to your fullest energies. However, I as the Principal of this school want you to be aware about the disastrous consequences of burning crackers during Diwali. I take great pleasure to sensitize you all on this important subject which has become a global concern in the contemporary scenario.

Bursting firecrackers is harmful not only for the environment, but they are equally dangerous for human beings and living creatures as crackers consist of certain amount of toxic substances which involves Sulphur dioxide, Carbon monoxide etc. These toxic gases block your respiratory system and reduce oxygen content in your body. They not only lead to air pollution, but are also an important reason behind the spread of noise pollution.

Largely, children and senior citizens get affected by the noise of crackers. The noise produced by these crackers can be so hazardous that it can even lead to permanent deafness. In fact, heart patients and those suffering from chronic bronchitis as well as low immune system are more prone to risks caused by air pollution.

We all should collectively pledge to save our mother earth which inevitably implies preserving ourselves so we can breathe in an environment free from pollutants and deadly gases.

Crackers which are appealing to your eyes might consist of heavy metals and a harmful gas referred to as “Carbon dioxide” which is more dangerous and harmful for our environment and increases the risk of an increased Global Warming as Carbon Dioxide is the biggest contributor to Global Warming.

Instead of burning these crackers, you all should light diyas, clean your households help your mothers in preparing delicious sweets, create well-designed Rangolis; to welcome Goddess Lakshmi to your houses. It is believed that Diwali is celebrated as it represents the triumph of light over darkness and that is the reason why we all light diyas in our houses as it overpower darkness in our lives too.

We all mutually can take a step forward and contribute in different ways to preserve our environment. The Government of India has banned crackers but people still do not follow rules and regulations, so it needs to be well enforced. Several schools and organizations are striving hard to educate students and individuals about pollution free Diwali. Media channels and heads are providing encouragement to these campaigns by spreading awareness to those who are not sensitized regarding the hazardous consequences of burning crackers. Wide variety of programs is being aired on radio and television asking citizens to curb noise pollution.

I, therefore, request you all to help our government and support ban on the use of firecrackers, only then will our existence on this planet will be fruitful and worth living. Now let me request the Vice Principal to come on the podium and say a few words in this regard which would really help us in enlightening others too.

Thank You!
