The extensive use of narcotics within and outside educational institutions has become a serious concern nowadays. Drug dealers target students both as carriers as well as clients. It’s high time for teachers and parents to work against and eradicate this evil force. The highly energetic youth can be guided by educating and at the same time by warning against the adverse effect of narcotics.
The anti-drugs cell of the Mother Arts and Science College, Peruvallur has been constituted to ensure a drug- free society by imposing a total ban on the possession or consumption or use of drugs and alcohol by students of the college, within or outside the campus. The main goal of antinarcotics cell is to enhance the students’ awareness and understanding of the harmful social and health effects of illicit drug use. The duties of the anti-drugs cell include organizing awareness programmes in the college with the help of government authorized agencies/ organizations. Educating the students about the ill-effects of drugs and alcohol, encouraging peer policing among students against the use of drugs and reporting of any noticed use of drugs by the students to the student’s affairs committee are also the duties of the anti-drugs cell. The Anti Narcotic Cell organizes seminars, poster, campaigns and rallies in order to spread awareness against the use of alcohol, tobacco and drugs. We keep close contact with the excise and police departments and arrange programs to make the students aware of the strong legal force working against narcotics and inculcate respect towards parents, teachers and the Indian judiciary.
