It is high time children must have responsibility as Responsibility can also give moral strength, such as saying no to undesired activities children should realize the importance of the relationship between an individual and the society. Children belong to the society and they need to play a major role in it. Children cannot live separately from the community-life. The Deepavali Celebrated in Open Shelter is Eco-friendly festival and open shelter children should behave an outstanding  student once he is reunited with the family and School. Student responsibility is demonstrated when students make choices and take actions which lead them toward their educational goals”.

We should abstain from burning crackers owing to the harmful effects it has on the environment that ultimately impacts life on Earth. Protecting the environment is our responsibility. It is part of our role as citizens to take care of the environment and not to waste natural resources.
