Jesus and Mary Academy

Event: Pledge for liquor ban

Duration: Half-an-hour

Special attraction: About 350 students pledged contribution to the ban on liquor in Bihar. They formed a human chain on the campus and formed the word "Nashabandi (prohibition)" to promote the cause. Poster-making, painting, essay-writing and slogan-writing competitions were organised for the students to make them aware about the ill-effects of liquor. Parents also attended the programme where some students shared their views about the liquor ban through presentations.

Abhishek Patrick, the school director, appreciated the students for their hard work and said youngsters have sent out a strong message against liquor and intoxicants not only in the country but across the world.

He also asked the students to educate their neighbours and relatives about the harmful impact of liquor consumption. A series of cultural programmes was organised during the awareness drive at school.
