The goal of this event was to enhance awareness regarding the harmful effects of addiction among youth, and to come together to eradicate addiction from the country. The menace of addiction and its ability to destabilize a sound mind is not a trivial issue, and the event constantly worked towards addressing this vulnerability in today’s youth.
To this effect, the dramatics club of ASL, Mimesis, performed a Nukkad Natak on the theme of “Shikshit Nari, Shashakt Nari” which reflected prominent government policies for women empowerment.
The event aspire to create an environment where participants can learn about the negative impact of all kinds of addictions on students, which lead to lower mortality rates and higher chances of failure.
