In accordance with the directives of the Directorate of Higher Education, Haryana, an Anti-Drug Awareness and Elimination Program was organized at DAV Centenary College, Faridabad. On this occasion, the Officiating Principal, Dr. Narender Kumar, addressed the students and stated that drug addiction does not just destroy an individual, but also leads the entire nation's future into darkness. To fight this menace, we must launch a strong collective campaign. He emphasized that substance abuse destroys the energy, potential, and cognitive abilities of the youth, making continuous awareness all the more essential. The college’s Yoga Instructor, Mr. Umesh Kumar, administered the anti-drug oath to all students, NSS volunteers, NCC cadets, and YRC members.

Around 30 students enthusiastically participated in the oath ceremony and pledged to bring about a positive change in society. The entire program was successfully conducted under the guidance of Dr. Yogesh (Convener) and Dr. Sarika Saini.
