Drug abuse

The rising trend of substance abuse among college and university students poses a threat to the health, academic progress and overall wellbeing of our young minds. Beyond individual consequences, its impact extends to increased rates of academic failure, disrupted social relationships, and potential involvement in criminal activities, affecting the fabric of society. To combat the issue, a collaborative effort among educational institutions, local authorities and the larger community is needed. Implementing preventive measures, awareness campaigns, and counselling services, along with stricter enforcement of regulations regarding substance sale and distribution near campuses can create a safer environment for academic and personal growth.
