KOMAL -SCREENING IN LIBRARY-AEP

AEP CLUB ACTIVITY

KOMAL SHORT FILM UNDER E- BOX WAS SCREENED IN 
LIBRARY FOR CLASSES XII ABC

The national award-winning 10-minute short film 

deals with child sexual abuse.

In the wake of cases about child sexual assault being reported 
in schools, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)
 has asked schools to screen Komal, a 10-minute short film that 
deals with the topic of child sexual abuse.
A CBSE notification states that schools should ensure that every
 child views the “instructive and informative” film so that they
 are better equipped to help and protect themselves and their 
friends if such a situation arises. The animated short film by 
the Ministry of Women and Child Development, made with 
support from Childline, has won the national film award under 
the “best educational film” category.
Many school managements, who have already begun classes 
on good touch and bad touch and gender sensitization issues, 
have welcomed the move and said that it could be used as a 
tool to supplement these programmes. They also said that the
 move will help children guard themselves and remain cautious.http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/komal-to-be-screened-in-cbse-schools/article7755130.ece
