In a powerful display of social responsibility, our school students orchestrated an impactful anti-drug rally on the morning of July 17, 2023, commencing at 10 a.m. This vital initiative was undertaken under the guidance of our esteemed principal, Mr. P.

Beyond our school’s walls, the event saw active involvement from students representing various private and government schools in the region, a testament to the community’s collective commitment to combat substance abuse.
As the rally progressed through the streets, it made a significant stop at the Sirkali Government Hospital. Here, our students carried placards adorned with compelling messages, passionately urging the public to join the fight against drug abuse. These messages served as a call to action, emphasizing the importance of a drug-free community and a healthier future for all.

Amidst the camaraderie, attendees reflected on the importance of unity in addressing this pressing issue. Over cups of tea, they discussed strategies to further raise awareness and combat drug abuse within the community.
