On the occasion of the International Day Against Drug Abuse, the educational institutions under Santhigiri Ashram jointly launched the campaign titled “United Against Drugs, With One Mind.”

The anti-drug rally, which started from the Santhigiri Medical College junction, was flagged off by T.R. Anilkumar, President of Pothencode Grama Panchayat.

The inauguration of the International Day Against Drug Abuse celebrations, organized jointly by Santhigiri Siddha Medical College, Santhigiri Vidyabhavan Senior Secondary School, and Santhigiri Vidyabhavan Higher Secondary School, was inaugurated by Assistant Excise Inspector B. Anilkumar.

In his inaugural address, he stated that visual portrayals that portray falsehood as truth can greatly influence young minds. The younger generation is often unwilling to absorb the life lessons that should be learned from fathers, mothers, and teachers. If students are willing to love their families beyond mere friendships, it can bring about significant positive change in society.

The event was presided over by Kuthirakulam Jayan, President of Manickal Grama Panchayat.
