Jalandhar, October 16, 2025: The Red Ribbon club of Innocent Hearts College of Education, Jalandhar organized an awareness seminar on ‘Drugs and its preventive measures ’ in the adopted village Lambra.
This awareness seminar aimed to sensitize the people about the hazardous drug vulnerabilities and remove their fear of approaching health clinics for treatment. The club ambassadors educated the villagers about the ill- effects of drug abuse and addiction. All the Red Ribbon club members wore red ribbons, made descriptive posters and charts depicting the helpline numbers to help people get treatment of drug abuse and addiction. RRC volunteer, Kandla began the lecture by explaining how drug addiction starts, often through peer pressure or curiosity and later becomes a dangerous habit. She highlighted the ill-effects of drug addiction: physical effects like damage to the liver, lungs, and brain, as well as the psychological impact including anxiety, depression, and loss of concentration. RRC member Golda stressed upon the social drug abuse consequences like broken family relations, poor work performances, and misleading one to criminal thoughts.
RRC Incharge Tarunjyoti Kaur strongly cautioned against experimenting with drugs even once, as it could lead to dangerous consequences and lifetime regret. She explained the legal consequences, making the students and slum dwellers aware of strict laws and punishments related to drug possession and consumption. An interactive quiz with the theme ‘Take the right path’ was conducted.
The message given through this quiz was to practice yoga or some exercises daily, leaving bad company and to join hands to fight against drug addiction with counselling, treatment and care. Personal hygiene kits were given to the winners of the quiz.
