The programme focused on creating greater awareness among students about the dangers of drug abuse and ragging. Moreover, it encouraged students to understand their responsibility in maintaining a peaceful and supportive learning environment.
The key objectives included:

Formation of Anti-Drug and Anti-Ragging Club
A significant part of the programme was the formation of the Anti-Drug and Anti-Ragging Club.
The club aims to involve students directly in awareness initiatives and preventive activities. Furthermore, it will help promote the values of discipline, friendship, mutual respect, and social responsibility among the student community.
Through the club, students can also support future Anti-Drug Awareness activities and initiatives against ragging.
Awareness on the Dangers of Drug Abuse
The programme highlighted the harmful effects of drug use and explained how substance abuse can affect the physical, mental, academic, and social well-being of young people.

Thus, the programme reinforced the importance of maintaining a healthy and drug-free lifestyle.
Awareness Against Ragging
The programme also addressed the serious social and legal consequences of ragging. Students learned that every individual has a responsibility to maintain dignity, respect, and harmony on the campus.
Moreover, participants were encouraged to promote friendship and cooperation instead of behaviour that could cause fear, humiliation, or discomfort to others.
The session emphasized that a safe learning environment requires the active cooperation of the entire student community.
