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 the 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 the above, we are making arrangements for the 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.

- विषय: Chalo Jeete Hain फिल्म से मिली प्रेरणा पर मेरे विचार
- माननीय मोदी जी,
- सादर प्रणाम।
- मैं आरव शर्मा, कक्षा आठवीं का छात्र, पीएम श्री केवी ओसीएफ सेक्टर 29, चंडीगढ़ से हूँ। हाल ही में हमारे विद्यालय में Chalo Jeete Hain नामक लघु फिल्म दिखाई गई, जिसने मेरे मन को गहराई से छू लिया।
- इस फिल्म ने मुझे सेवा, करुणा और उद्देश्यपूर्ण जीवन जीने की प्रेरणा दी। एक छोटे बच्चे की सोच और उसके कार्यों ने मुझे यह समझाया कि सच्चा जीवन वही है जो दूसरों के लिए जिया जाए। अब मैं यह संकल्प लेता हूँ कि मैं अपने विद्यालय और समाज में दूसरों की मदद करूंगा, और हर दिन कुछ अच्छा करने का प्रयास करूंगा।
- आपके नेतृत्व में देश में सकारात्मक बदलाव आ रहे हैं। मैं आपके प्रयासों के लिए आभार व्यक्त करता हूँ और आशा करता हूँ कि हम जैसे छात्र भी आपके सपनों के भारत के निर्माण में योगदान दे सकें।
- सादर,
आपका विश्वासी
