Anti-Drug and Narcotic Policy

Anti-Drug and Narcotic Policy

The Anti-Drug and Narcotic cell was established in Sree Sankara College during the year 2022-23 with a view to curb the menace of drug trafficking and use of illegal substances inside the campus. Sree Sankara College strongly believes that the best way to maintain an appropriate campus environment with respect to drugs and alcohol is through educating  students  about the dangers of drug abuse that tend to  threaten the safety of the environment, and disrupt the educational process and defeats the purpose for which a student is being educated. To that end, the college provides on-campus support programmes and awareness programmes.
