“There is an alarming rise in drug addiction among people. It is a tragedy that students become victims of drug addiction. The fight against drug menace should begin with students itself,” said former international hockey player Baleyada Subramani.
He was speaking at the inauguration of sports and cultural activities at the Government First Grade College in Virajpet.
“We have to script our own success stories. All incidents in life are lessons to learn. We have to engage in learning process from birth to death. Parents are the biggest asset in our life. We have to follow the path laid down by them,” he said.
He called upon the students to inculcate discipline in life to achieve success.
“Serving the country should be our biggest achievement in life. Students should join the armed forces. Even women are also joining the armed forces in the recent years,” he said.
Janapada Parishat president Dr S Balaji said there is a need to save folklore which is on the verge of extinction. The Parishat has been creating awareness on folk in villages.
He said the Parishat has constituted teams and visited 1,300 villages to create awareness on folk and culture. It is a tragedy that artistes do not get adequate support.
College principal Dr D K Bopaiah and others were present.
