Solan, May 14
In a moving initiative aimed at promoting human values, Shoolini University, in collaboration with the Red Cross Society Solan, organised an Awareness Rally under the theme “On the Side of Humanity.”
The event saw enthusiastic participation from students, faculty members, and community volunteers, all united in a common cause — to stand up for empathy, unity, and compassion.
The rally was officially flagged off by Deputy Commissioner of Solan, Mr. Manmohan Sharma, who appreciated the thoughtful initiative. In his address, he stressed the relevance of human values in today’s fast-paced, often divided world. He called on the youth and community to uphold the spirit of compassion in their day-to-day lives.
As the rally moved through Solan’s central areas, students and volunteers actively engaged with the public. They distributed messages advocating for peace, equality, and support for marginalised communities.
The rally was led by Dr. Neeraj Gandotra, Associate Dean Students’ Welfare (DSW), along with his team from Shoolini University. It was designed to encourage people to embrace kindness, support the underprivileged, and promote a culture of humanity in everyday life.
The rally commenced at Mall Road, Solan, where participants gathered with banners and handmade placards. They began their march from the Old DC Office to the Old Bus Stand, spreading awareness through meaningful interaction and visual messages. Throughout the rally, participants carried powerful slogans that echoed through the streets. Placards bore heartfelt messages such as “No Greater Power Than a Heart That Helps,” a reminder that genuine support often stems from selfless emotion. Others read “For Humanity, With Humanity, Through Humanity” and “Together, We Rise by Lifting Others,” reinforcing the idea that unity and cooperation lead to collective growth.
Participants also highlighted the value of small acts with the line “One Act of Help, a Hundred Smiles,” and honoured the collaboration by displaying “Red Cross: A Symbol of Hope and Humanity.”
The event concluded at the Old Bus Stand, where a brief closing ceremony was held. Members of the organising committee addressed the crowd, thanking all participants for their dedication and encouraging them to continue spreading the message of humanity.
