Ernakulam: School launches football campaign to check drug abuse among students

KOCHI: In order to fight drug menace in schools and create anti-narcotic awareness among students by encouraging them to use their energy and time for physical activities, the student police cadets (SPC) of Ramamangalam High School in Ernakulam have started a new campaign.

Named ‘Say no to Drugs, Say yes to Football’, the campaign aims to urge students to stop using drugs and instead find ‘intoxication’ in playing football, a sport which demands a lot of energy and stamina from the players. The SPC unit in the school plans to create football clubs in the school and neighbourhood to give training for students in football. Matches and tournaments between SPC units in various schools in the area will be organized with the support of several football turfs.
