On 11th August 2025, Dr. Hahnemann Homoeopathy College and Research Center (HHMC & RC) took a strong stand against the growing threat of substance abuse by organizing an Anti-Drug Awareness Pledge event. This initiative, aimed at educating and motivating the student community to stay drug-free, was held as part of our commitment to fostering a healthier, more responsible future.
The Importance of Awareness
The rise of drug abuse among youth has become a global concern, with its consequences reaching far beyond the individual, impacting families, communities, and societies as a whole. The Anti-Drug Awareness Pledge was organized to remind students of the dangers of drugs and encourage them to choose a path of health, well-being, and mental clarity.
The Event: A Collective Commitment
The event kicked off with a powerful speech from the Executive Officer, Mr. N. Jayaraman, who highlighted the importance of raising awareness about substance abuse, particularly in educational settings where young minds are shaping their futures. The college’s faculty and students gathered together to pledge their commitment to drug-free living, reinforcing their role in spreading awareness among their peers and in their communities.
Raising Awareness through Education
The event also featured an informative session led by experts in the field of homeopathy and public health, who discussed the psychological, physical, and social impact of drug abuse. The speakers stressed that addiction is not just a medical condition but a societal issue that requires collective efforts for prevention and treatment. The session was well-received, and many students expressed their appreciation for the insights shared.
Student Participation and Engagement
The event was highly interactive, with students actively participating in discussions and sharing personal stories about their experiences with drug abuse and recovery. This open conversation helped to break the stigma surrounding addiction, making it easier for individuals to come forward and seek help when needed.
