On 4th November 2024, the Social Welfare Club of Girijananda Chowdhury University, Guwahati, in association with NSS Unit 2 of GCU-Guwahati and the Red Ribbon Club of LCB College, Maligaon, Guwahati, conducted a street play as part of an awareness campaign focused on drug and alcohol addiction. This event took place on the campus of LCB College, Maligaon, Guwahati. The street play served as a creative medium to educate college students about the dangers of substance abuse.
The objective of the program was to educate the community, especially young people, on how addiction can harm personal relationships, health, and future prospects through a relatable and entertaining format. The street play successfully attracted a large audience. Its interactive format made the play more impactful, as the audience felt connected to the characters and the message. The teachers in the audience praised the realistic portrayal of addiction’s impact on families and appreciated the educational approach. Some suggested that similar plays be conducted in schools, colleges, and public places regularly to reinforce the message.
A total of 28 participants were involved in the campaign, including 16 student members of the Social Welfare Club, 7 NSS Unit-2 volunteers, and 3 faculty members from the Social Welfare Club.
