HYDERABAD, JUNE 17. As a part of their "Education awakening campaign" the Students' Islamic Organisation of India (SIOI) took out a rally from Mecca Masjid to Dar-u-shifa ground on Saturday.

Despite rain many students participated in the rally. Holding placards inscribed with messages asserting the importance of education they passed through the narrow lanes and bylanes before reaching the Dar-u-shifa ground. They raised slogans favouring compulsory education for all. Some interesting tableaux depicting the importance of education added colour to the rally.

The rally also marked the 15-day state-wide drive of the SIOI to identify school dropouts and send them back to the school. According to a member of the SIOI, about 10,000 children were identified to get readmitted to the schools. Later, the SIOI leaders addressed the rally. Similar rallies were taken out in other districts on Friday.
