Speaking on this initiative, Vennila, the Organizer of the Kavithalayam Women’s Wing, remarked, “Every year, our school organizes this festival by selecting various social awareness themes—such as ‘Let Us Celebrate Womanhood’ (the theme of last year’s event), ‘Let Us Protect the Ozone Layer,’ and ‘Let Us Conserve Nature.’
However, as this is an election year, our primary slogan this time is: ‘Do Not Fail to Vote!'”
