Srinagar, April 18: As a part of 100-day Nasha Mukta Bharat Abhiyan (NMBA), the College Well-Being & Anti-Substance Abuse Cell of Government Degree College (GDC) Qazigund, organized a friendly Kabaddi match to raise awareness among the students to curb the menace of drug abuse.

The activity witnessed an enthusiastic and active participation of the sports persons of the college. Anti-drug slogans were also displayed by the students to support the event.
A pledge was also administered to all the staff and students in this connection.
College Principal, Prof. Sudhir Singh, in his address expressed concerns over the involvement of youth in drugs’ network, as is being unleashed during the NMBA campaign. “Sports can play a surprisingly strong role in preventing substance use—especially among young people—because they shape daily habits, identity, and social circles in such ways that make risky behaviours less appealing or harder to sustain. Positive peer influence can reduce the likelihood of experimenting with harmful substances,” he added.
Those who were prominently present on the occasion include. Prof. Aufaq Zargar, Prof. Talib Ahmad, Prof. Irshad Ahmed and Prof. Rameez Ahmed.
