The National Cadet Corps (NCC) units of Assam down town University (AdtU), comprising the 60 Assam Girls Battalion NCC and 50 Assam Air Squadron, organised an awareness programme on 5 November 2026 to mark the sixth anniversary of the Nasha Mukti Abhiyaan (Drug-Free India Campaign).

The program aimed to raise awareness among students about the harmful effects of substance abuse and encourage them to adopt a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. Conceptualised by Associate NCC Officer (ANO) Lt. (Dr.) Sangita Boro, the initiative brought together NCC cadets and other university students through a series of engaging activities.

The program began with the screening of three educational films and documentaries highlighting the physical, psychological and social consequences of drug addiction. The screenings provided students with an opportunity to understand the far-reaching impact of substance abuse.

This was followed by an informative talk by ANO Lt. (Dr.) Sangita Boro, who spoke about the important role young people can play in raising awareness and contributing towards a drug-free society.

The program concluded with an awareness rally across the university campus, where cadets from both NCC units marched with placards and banners, raising slogans against substance abuse and encouraging the campus community to stand together for a drug-free society.
