As part of the month long programme on ‘Drugs Eradication’, 7 AR, Medical Officer, N. Ravi Kumar gave a talk at Agape School on June 15. Speaking to the students, Kumar said that addressing drugs menace in society is everyone's responsibility and not only of the Government and NGOs.
He cautioned the students against the random use of pain killer and cough syrup without medical prescription as it can lead to long term health effects. He said that better education and health facilities are vital in containing drugs abuses as rehabilitation centers alone will not help in tackling drug abuse if the root cause is not addressed.
Welcoming the gathering, Teacher incharge, Achum expressed gratitude to the visiting 7AR doctor for having the talk in the school where students and teachers have learnt in depth about the topic.
Later, interaction session followed the programme where students clarified the doubts concerning the related topic.
