Leh, Nov 15: Five district-level master trainers organised a one-day awareness workshop-cum-campaign on Electoral Literacy Club (ELC) for teachers of government schools at Paras Hall, Government Boys Higher Secondary School in Leh.
The main objective of the workshop is to engage school students through interesting activities and hands-on experience to apprise them of their electoral rights and familiarise them with the electoral process of registering their names and voting. Students of Class 9 till 12 are members of ELC as they would soon become eligible to cast their votes.
One of the main objectives of the Election Commission of India of establishing ELC is to prepare future voters.
The district-level master trainers imparted training and shared knowledge about Electoral Literacy Club to the nodal officers in the workshop.
