Anti-Drug Awareness Campaign 2025
The increasing prevalence of drug abuse continues to pose a significant threat, particularly among the youth in academic institutions. In accordance with directives from the Government of Kerala and the Higher Education Department, the Anti-Narcotic Club of Sree Narayana College, Chempazhanthy launched a comprehensive Anti-Drug Awareness Campaign during 01/06/2025 – 02/07/2025 , under the guidance of Principal Prof. Dr. Raakhee A. S.
The campaign was designed to:
-
Sensitize students about the dangers of substance abuse.
-
Promote a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.
-
Foster social responsibility and collective accountability.
The activities reached students across all batches—both senior and newly admitted—through engaging, educational, and participatory events. These efforts empowered students to become advocates of a drug-free campus culture.
Activity 1: Distribution of Anti-Drug Affidavits
Dr. Jinu S. Rajan, member of the Anti-Narcotic Club, formally handed over the affidavits to the students.
As an initiative to instill legal and moral responsibility, anti-drug affidavits were distributed to all newly admitted first-year students during admission. Students were asked to read, understand, and sign the affidavit, pledging their support for anti-drug policies of the college. This initiative was appreciated by both parents and staff for promoting accountability right from the beginning of the students’ academic journey.
Activity 2: Digital Poster Making Competition
In connection with the International Day Against Drug Abuse, a Digital Poster Making Competition was organized to inspire creative expression against drug abuse. Students submitted digital artworks that included motivational messages, slogans, and powerful imagery reflecting the dangers of substance abuse.

To sustain the message beyond physical events, a series of short awareness videos were curated and shared via student WhatsApp groups and classroom networks. These videos included animations, slogans, and brief stories promoting a drug-free youth community.
Students were encouraged to discuss the content with peers and provide feedback. This subtle yet continuous reinforcement effectively complemented other campaign activities.
