To promote experiential learning among participants, pedagogical tools such as value-based sessions, storytelling, indigenous games, hands-on activities and audio-visual learning etc. are being used in Prerna.
One such tool is film screenings, which help bring abstract values, life stories, historical contexts, ethical dilemmas, and human emotions to life.
They allow participants to see lived examples of values in action rather than merely discussing them. One such film which is regularly screened at Prerna, is Chalo Jeete Hain.
It is inspired by true events and embodies the 9 binary values and the quote of Swami Vivekananda, “Only those who live for others, actually live”.
The film was awarded the National Award for Best Non-Feature Film on Family Values at the 66th National Film Awards, and has been appreciated for its capacity to inspire young minds.
Within Prerna program, the film has already left a deep impression on participants, who have internalized its message and reflected it in their attitudes and actions.
It will help young learners to reflect on themes of character, service, and responsibility. The film can also serve as a case study for moral reasoning, and support the goals of social-emotional learning, developing empathy, self-reflection, critical thinking, and inspiration.
In view of above, we are making arrangements for screening of ‘Chalo Jeete Hain’ film for students in our school between 17th September to 2nd October, 2025.
The film is available at the link: 32minutes, 18 seconds

SOP & Social Media Plan for Special Screening of ‘Chalo Jeete Hain’ in Schools & Cinema Theatres
A. SOP FOR SCHOOLS
Pre-Screening Activities
1. Formal Invitation to “Seva Heroes”: • Activity: Have a group of students personally design and deliver formal, respectful invitations to select non-teaching staff, viz. – watchmen, cleaners, bus drivers, etc.), inviting them as “Special Guests of Honor” for the screening. • Purpose: To make the honorees feel genuinely valued and respected from the outset, setting a powerful example of empathy for the students.
Post-Screening Activities 1. Interactive Reflection Session: • Activity: Immediately after the film, A teacher can ask questions to the students, like: “Which moment in the film resonated with you the most and why?” “How can we, as students, practice ‘seva’ in our school and community?” Invite a few “Seva Heroes” to share their experiences (if they are comfortable). Purpose: To internalize the film’s values and brainstorm practical ways to implement them.
2. The Seva-Honouring Ceremony (As per the POA):
• Activity: Principal, head boy/girl, and special dignitaries (if any) call each “Silent Hero” by name. • Action: Present them with a token of appreciation. This could be: A certificate of gratitude (“Seva Ratna” or “Silent Hero Award”). A simple gift (shawl/flower/memento). Most importantly, a heartfelt round of applause from the entire audience. • Purpose: This is the core of the initiative-publicly acknowledging and validating their indispensable contribution, providing students with a live model of gratitude.
3. “Letter to the PM” / organizing a Writing Session: • Activity: Dedicate time (e.g., the next period after the screening) for students to write their letters to the Hon. Prime Minister. Provide them with guiding questions: “What inspiration did you get from the film?” “What did you learn?” “How will you change your actions?” “What is your message for the PM?” • Purpose: This formalizes their reflection and connects their personal experience to a national initiative, making them feel part of a larger movement.
4. Media Interaction and Community Outreach (As per the POA): • Activity: If local media or dignitaries are present, prepared students and teachers share their insights. This can also be extended by sharing the event’s success on the school’s social media channels with photos (with consent) and quotes. • Purpose: To amplify the message beyond the school walls and inspire the wider community, creating a ripple effect of gratitude and service.
C. SOCIAL MEDIA STRATEGY FOR SCHOOLS & CINEMA THEATRES.
A focused trend alert may be done on a particular day and time. 1. Key Government Accounts to Tag: To ensure national visibility, tag relevant government ministries and handles that align with the themes of education and youth. • Prime Minister’s Office: @PMOIndia @narendramodi • Ministry of Education: @EduMinOfIndia @DPEducationWorld • Ministry of Information & Broadcasting: @AshwiniVaishnaw @DrLMurugan @PIB_India @MIB_India (Often involved in film screenings and initiatives) • MyGov India (Citizen Engagement Platform): @mygovindia • Swachh Bharat Mission (Connect to dignity of labour): @swachhbharat
