Drug addiction adversely affects both physical and mental well-being.

Chettalli, June 14: International Anti-Drug Day was celebrated at Kaveri Pre-University College, Virajpet.

Latha N.J., Sub-Inspector of Virajpet Rural Police Station, who participated in the program as a resource person, said that drug abuse is a serious problem of society. Youth are getting addicted to drugs due to curiosity, peer pressure and wrong habits. Although it initially gives temporary happiness, it later destroys physical and mental health, she said.

Drug addiction has a negative impact on education, employment, family and social life. Addicts face many health problems and sometimes there is a possibility of turning to criminal activities. Parents, teachers, government and society should work together to prevent this problem. Awareness programs should be organized in schools and colleges. She called on the youth to choose good friendship groups and engage in sports, studies and creative activities.

At the beginning of the program, Veena and the team prayed. Students Veena and Kavya recited poetry, college principal M.K. Padma welcomed, and National Service Project Unit Program Officer Anupama Thimmaiah proposed vote of thanks. The faculty and students were present.
