In celebration of India’s 75th Independence anniversary, the NSS and Rotaract Club of Valluvar College of Science & Management took the initiative to promote voter awareness, reinforcing that voting is both a fundamental right and a civic duty. To encourage responsibility among youth, our institution announced a cash prize of Rs. 10,000/- for each student based on the percentage of eligible voters who cast their ballots in their polling place. The objective was to ensure that every eligible voter in the community participated in the State Assembly election held on 06.04.2021. Thirty students actively participated in this week-long competition, reaching large numbers of people across their wards and highlighting the importance of voting. Their efforts significantly contributed to Karur District recording the highest voter turnout in Tamil Nadu at 83.96%. Remarkably, this marked the first time in the state that an educational institution played such a pivotal role in achieving this milestone.
