SAMBA: Government Degree College Vijaypur organised screening of documentary on drug addiction under the flagship banner of Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan.

The event was conducted under the supervision of the College Principal Dr. Ashu Vashisht.

The event commenced with the welcome address by Nodal Officer Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan Dr. Anoop Kumar Bhagat. He noted that drug abuse has led to a detrimental impact on the society including increase in the crime rate in the country. The documentary aimed at creating awareness among the students and local people about the impact of drugs on emotional, mental and social health.
