“put it out before it puts you
out”.
The true and beautiful saying goes like this “Unless we destroy the
seed of evil, it will destroy us”. To destroy the seed of evil is
hard but not impossible. One must put his heart and soul to destroy
this evil seed that ruins oneself and the other. Taking necessary
steps and guidance of right people, the addicted can give an end to
it. Keeping this thought in mind VCT organized awareness rally
against the use of tobacco on 31st world No Tobacco Day at Sunkanoor
village,Manvi Taluka.
The students voiced loudly against this evil malady by holding
placards and banners about the harmful and evil effects on health of
Tobacco, drugs alcohol, and so on. It was an urgent appeal from the
part of students to all to take effective measures against these
evil consumptions. The rally included a well-timed FLASH MOB,
performed creatively before the gathered crowd so that they become
aware by grasping the meaning of Tobacco termination and its
importance. VCT also initiated a new method of campaign, namely,
“Sticker Campaign”, wherein students and volunteers distributed the
personalized Anti-Tobacco message Stickers to shop keepers, four and
two wheeler owners, auto drivers and other people. All those who
supported the cause, used these stickers on their vehicles, on walls
of shops, houses and thus highlighted this key message. The eminent
personalities were invited to give the message on this occasion
namely Amersha gowda, Sharabaya swami and Veeresh Gowada were
present. Thus the Awareness rally ended with the instructive note:
“put it out before it puts you out”.
