Nasha Mukt Abhiyan

Blue Bells Group of Schools Ignites Hope Grade 10 Students Take a Resounding Stand Against Drug Abuse through an Awareness Session on Peer Pressure and the Drug Menace!

An interactive sensitization session on Peer Pressure and the Drug Menace was conducted for students of grade X on August 19, 2025 in BBMS under the guidance of Dr. Alka Saxena, Associate Director (Social & Emotional Learning), Blue Bells Group of Schools.

The session aimed to raise awareness among students about the impact of peer pressure, its link to substance abuse, and ways to make healthy, responsible choices. The main objective of the session was to help students define and understand peer pressure, explore strategies to deal with negative peer pressure and create a personal safety net.

The session was highly engaging and activity-based. Students began by sharing their thoughts on “What comes to their mind when they hear the word peer pressure?” They also reflected on situations where peer pressure had worked positively for them, as well as times when it had a negative influence.

Through role plays, facilitators enacted real-life scenarios, followed by discussions on refusal strategies and the importance of having a safety net. Later, in groups, the students brainstormed coping strategies for different peer-pressure situations. The students were made aware about the importance of creating a safety net against the drug menace in order to provide young people, families, and communities with protective shields to help prevent substance abuse and offer support when challenges arise. A safety net will not only promote mental health awareness and stress management strategies, but also help individuals to develop resilience and confidence to handle challenges without resorting to drugs.

The session concluded with students identifying and creating their own safety circle with trusted network of people they can reach out to for support. Also, important Government Helpline numbers, information about Local NGO’S & Safety Net Nodes for Students were shared to provide guidance for students facing stress, anxiety, peer pressure, or drug-related challenges.

The session left students with clarity about the forms and effects of peer pressure, practical refusal skills to confidently say “No,” and also provided each one the ability to identify positive influences and avoid negative ones. Students were urged to take a pledge under the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India, and join the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan—a collective movement towards a drug-free future.

Overall, the session was an eye-opener, motivating students to stay resilient, make informed choices, and contribute towards a drug-free community.
