On June 26, 2025, the Infopark Police conducted a World Anti-Drug Day campaign at the Athulya Auditorium in Infopark, Kochi. The event was a great initiative to spread awareness about the harmful effects of drug use and to encourage the community, especially today’s youth, to embrace a healthy and drug-free lifestyle.
The campaign started with a rally that began at Athulya Auditorium and proceeded to the Infopark Police Station. Participants in the rally held banners and placards in their hands, conveying the message against drug abuse, symbolizing a collective stand against addiction. This rally was a complete success and caught the attention of the Infopark community, but also delivered a strong message on the importance of early prevention and public participation.
A key highlight of the event was the participation of students from Kochi Business School. Their involvement added energy and urgency to the cause, given that drug abuse among students has become a growing concern in recent years.
With increased academic pressure, peer influence, and the easy availability of substances, many students are at risk of falling into the trap of drug use. Events like this play a crucial role in educating students about the dangers of addiction and the importance of making healthy life choices.
The campaign emphasized that drug abuse is not just an individual issue, but a societal one that requires collective awareness, early intervention, and continued support. Through awareness campaigns, educational outreach, and community engagement, we can build a strong front against the menace of drugs.
The Infopark Police deserve commendation for spearheading this initiative and bringing various sections of the community together for such an important cause. The message was clear and powerful—choosing a drug-free life is the first step toward a better future.
