Dr. Tony Sam addressed the gathering on “Drug Abuse and Youngsters”. He presented the raw facts and statistics and explained what exactly drugs are doing to our society and what we need to do to combat it.

Next was the prize distribution for the poster-making competition which was conducted for the NCC cadets of the university.

He pointed out to all present that personally one should not only Say No to Drugs, but also be consistent in making a long-lasting change in the society by helping those who need help. He also appreciated the efforts of Zealous Productions in coming out with such an apt street play.

The programme was a success and brought to light a matter that should be discussed instead of being treated as taboo. The efforts of Christ University NCC and in particular Capt. Ajay Pavithran and Lt. Phinu Jose were appreciated by all.
