The rally, which was attended by hundreds of students, was organised by the Department of Students Welfare (DSW). Two skits were also organised by the DSW to raise awareness against drug addiction and highlight how this menace devastates the entire social fabric.

Addressing academics, students and officials on the occasion, Prof Nilofer said the student community must shoulder the responsibility of raising community-level awareness against drug addiction.

“Our students have the ability and potential to effectively lead social campaigns at grassroots and can become enablers of a great social change,” Prof Nilofer said, complimenting the DSW for organising the important programme with active involvement of the students, both boys and girls.

Prof Nilofer said that drug menace not only devours the economy but also devastates individuals and families personally, socially, financially and psychologically.

On the occassion, the VC also led the pledge-taking ceremony where she read out an anti-drug abuse pledge titled ‘Say yes to life, no to drugs’.

Registrar Dr Nisar A Mir, Dean Students Welfare Prof Aneesa Shafi, Media Advisor Dr Salima Jan, Provost Prof Zahida Jabeen, Director CCAS Prof Tabassum Firdous, Dean Prof Shamim A Shah and other officers and officials were present on the occasion. Cultural Officer Shahid Ali Khan conducted proceedings of the event, which was coordinated by Zahid Jeelani Wani, Junior Coordinator DSW.
