Alcohol/Drug/substances abuse is becoming an increasing menace in our nation especially in Kerala. Studies shows that even school and college students are attracted to liquor, narcotic substances and Tobacco products. The major cause of concern is that a significant proportion of these young people eventually get addicted posing a threat to their own health and safety, while creating untold miseries to their families and the public at large. Considering the issue in the present scenario, KMCT Polytechnic College, Kuttippuram formed Anti- drug Club on 15/06/2022. The club was initiated to prevent substance abuse -addictive behaviours in the campus. This stands for augmenting and strengthening the existing awareness programme against drugs and alcohol.
The college anti-drug cell has been constituted to ensure a drug- free campus 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/hostels.
The duties of the anti-drugs cell include organizing awareness programmes in the college and hostels 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.
Objectives of the Anti-Drug Cell:
- To spread awareness to ensure a drug/ substance free campus.
- To prevent the initiation of drug use and the increase to addiction in those who have already initiated use.
- To engage the students in anti- drug activities and educating them about the ill-effects.
- Motivate students to become volunteers of anti-drug activities in their life.
- Ensure no sale of drugs or alcohol in college premises.
