The videos can be related to anything. According to a CBSE official, short films, discussions, debates, role plays, presentations and similar forms on themes, including health and wellness, gender sensitivity, community outreach, life skills, values education, heritage, disaster management, social issues, environmental issues and concerns and innovative teaching-learning methodologies.

We plan to focus on environmental issues as part of sending videos to the CBSE.

We are planning to send a skit with a social message to the board. We feel that our achievements and the message that we want to convey through the skit should reach more people. YouTube is a popular site and many have access to it.

We do not know about this decision right now. But if we get such an opportunity, we will send in our videos.

It would have been better if the Central Board of Secondary Education extended the deadline. Since it is just after the exams, it would be difficult for us to send in the videos. But we do want our activities to be uploaded on YouTube.
