The Anti Drug Cell, Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand University (DBUU), in collaboration with the Anti Narcotics Task Force, Dehradun, organized an awareness program to educate students about the harmful effects of drug abuse and to promote a healthy, responsible, and drug-free lifestyle. The event was conducted with the objective of sensitizing students to the physical, psychological, social, and legal consequences of substance abuse while encouraging them to become active participants in building a drug-free society.
The program commenced with a welcome address by the university authorities, who emphasized the importance of creating a safe and healthy campus environment. Officials from the Anti Narcotics Task Force, Dehradun, delivered informative sessions highlighting the increasing challenges posed by drug addiction among youth and the collective responsibility of educational institutions, parents, and society in preventing substance abuse. The experts explained the various forms of narcotic and psychotropic substances, their adverse impact on health, academic performance, mental well-being, and future career prospects.
The resource persons also discussed the legal provisions under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, the penalties associated with drug-related offences, and the role of law enforcement agencies in combating drug trafficking and substance abuse. Through real-life examples, interactive discussions, and awareness presentations, students were encouraged to identify the warning signs of addiction, support peers in need, and seek timely professional help whenever required.
An interactive question-and-answer session allowed students to engage with the experts, clarify misconceptions, and understand practical strategies for resisting peer pressure and making informed decisions. The event also emphasized the importance of mental health, stress management, positive lifestyle choices, and participation in sports, cultural activities, and community service as effective alternatives to substance abuse.
Overall, the awareness program proved to be highly informative and impactful. It strengthened students' understanding of the dangers associated with drug abuse and reinforced the university's commitment to promoting a healthy, disciplined, and drug-free campus.
