The programmed provided us with valuable information about drug addiction and simultaneously provided us with tips for fighting against the problem. The two day training in which we had participated earlier and to-days orientation programme helped us a great deal in realizing our important role in the state’s fight against drug abuse. We were offered full cooperation and support by the medical team and other various officials in organizing awareness programmes of the nature in our college in future. Overall the programme was very helpful for both the teachers and the students in gaining knowledge and skills for fighting against drug abuse.
