Every day, we witness alarming incidents—mugging, bullying, road rage, kidnapping, sexual harassment, and more—making headlines and circulating rapidly across social media platforms.
While no one can guarantee complete immunity from such crimes, Delhi Public School Rohini, in collaboration with the Kavach Self-Defense System, has taken a commendable initiative to empower students aged 10 to 17. This program aims to instil strength, confidence, and presence of mind, enabling them to stand up for themselves and safeguard those around them.
