Principal’s Social Impact Challenge
Grades VI – XII
SESSION 2026-27
“Be The Change” – One Problem, One Solution
Dear Students,
We live in a time where people often complain about society, pollution, waste, stress, carelessness, and
lack of humanity — yet very few step forward to solve even the smallest problem around them. Real
education is not proven by marks alone. It is proven when knowledge transforms into action, when
ideas become solutions, and when young minds begin to think not only for themselves, but for the world
around them. Therefore, Narayana 37- C proudly launches a special initiative for Grades VI–XII:
“₹200 TO CHANGE THE WORLD”
A challenge that asks one simple question: “If you had only ₹200, how would you make society
better?” This is not a competition of expensive models or decorative charts. This is a challenge of
compassion, observation, innovation, and courage.
YOUR TASK: You must identify ONE genuine problem existing around you and create a realistic,
low-cost, workable solution using a budget of not more than ₹200. Your project must create an
actual positive impact — however small it may seem. Because even the smallest change, when done
sincerely, has the power to inspire hundreds.
THE PROBLEM MUST BE REAL
➢ Do not search the internet for ideas.
Observe life. Observe people. Observe habits. Observe negligence.
➢ Look around and ask yourself:
➢ What problem do people complain about daily?
➢ What issue silently harms society?
➢ What small discomfort affects many people?
➢ What wasteful habit can be improved?
➢ What kindness is missing from society today?

Children,
The world does not change only through powerful leaders or wealthy people. It changes when ordinary
individuals decide they will no longer ignore problems around them. If young minds begin thinking
responsibly today, tomorrow’s society will automatically become kinder, cleaner, wiser, and more
humane. Never underestimate your ability to create change. A small act done sincerely is far greater
than a thousand ideas never acted upon.
Remember:
“Do not ask what the world is giving you.
Ask what kind of world you are helping create.”
And always carry this thought in your heart: “The purpose of education is not only to build a
successful career, but also to build a meaningful society.”
With great hope and belief in your potential,
Principal
