Students should make use of these opportunities. We must completely stay away from social media crimes and drug abuse." His words resonated with the student community present at the event.

The chief guest presented prizes to students who won various competitions conducted throughout the week including short film making, face painting, anti-ragging slogan writing, painting competition, and poster making. These creative activities helped students express their stance against ragging in innovative ways.
NSS Coordinator Dr. S. Pragadeeshwaran, Anti-Ragging Committee Coordinators, and a large number of students participated in the event, making it a resounding success.
