The State government is exploring the possibility of equipping school children to become peer counsellors as part of the campaign against drug abuse.
General Education Minister V. Sivankutty said here on Monday that the peer counsellors would act as positive role models and help other students with advice and support to wean them away from drugs.
Speaking after inaugurating the school-level campaign against drug abuse at the SMV High School, he said that a training programme for students would be launched with the help of professional counsellors and enforcement agencies.
