In a proactive effort to foster a safer, more responsible campus environment, the District Legal Services Authority (DLSA), Kollam, is organizing a comprehensive legal awareness campaign under the guiding motto of "Access to Justice for All". The event aims to educate students on two critical social challenges heavily impacting today’s youth: substance abuse and campus harassment.
Core Themes: Building a Healthier Student Culture
The awareness session focuses on two vital pillars:
Anti-Drugs Campaign: Centered around the message "Say No to Drugs, Choose a Better Life," this topic aims to enlighten students about the physical, mental, and legal consequences of drug use.
Anti-Ragging Advocacy: Operating under the strict reminder that "Ragging is a Crime, Respect is the Culture," this session highlights the severe legal repercussions of ragging and emphasizes mutual respect among peers.
