DAVV Forms Task Force To Combat Substance Abuse

Devi Ahilya Vishwavidyalaya (DAVV) in Indore has formed a 20-member task force to combat substance abuse among students. The task force will work to create a healthy and safe academic environment by involving faculty members and students.

Each department will have a five-member committee to spread awareness and organise activities to encourage students to stay away from drugs. The university will also organise lectures, sports, and cultural activities to educate students about the harmful effects of substance abuse.

A dedicated anti-drug squad will be constituted to conduct periodic visits to departments and campus areas to monitor activities and maintain a register documenting its inspections. The university's health centre will serve as the headquarters for the anti-drug campaign.

The task force will be headed by Dr Laxmikant Tripathi and will include 20 faculty members. The campaign aims to spread awareness about the dangers of addiction and encourage students to adopt healthy lifestyles and become responsible citizens.
