RALLY AGAINST DRUG ABUSE, ILLICIT TRAFFICKING

Rohini College of Engineering & Technology, Palkulam, recognizes the importance of providing awareness on Safe & Healthy Environment and organized a rally on spreading awareness against drugs and human trafficking, focusing especially on students.The rally was organized on June 26, 2018, it was presided by Mr. Muthu Pandian, DSP, Kanyakumari District. The students holding banners ,and chanting slogans took part in large numbers and held a road show by walking from Gandhi Mandapam, Kanyakumari, around 10.00 AM and wound through Collectorate to reach Concordia School, Nagercoil. This rally was organized especially for the students, in order to create awareness about illegal drug or alcohol consumption. The prevalence of drug use among young people is more than twice as high as that among the general population. At this age, peer pressure to experiment with illicit drugs can be strong and self-esteem is often low. Also, those who take drugs tend to be either misinformed or insufficiently aware of the health risks involved. The outcome of this program is to meet legal requirements to provide a “drug-free environment”. Mr. Muthu Pandian, DSP insisted that “Consumption of Drugs and Alcohol in the workplace have serious implications on overall costs, quality of performance, efficiency and productivity. Drugs can make an individual feel able to handle tasks that are too difficult or too dangerous for him/her.” He also said that “Drugs may make the individual careless and likely to forget important safety steps which result in increased occurrences of accidents. Abuse of drugs can also lead to major errors in the work performed by the individuals”. The police took precautions to ensure there is no traffic jam and ensured the programme was held without any problems to the public. Through such awareness drives, the police and the student community hope to reduce exposure risks of youth to drugs.
