The socially responsible and enterprising Director, Meena Kak , who has been supporting Bobby’s Anti Addiction Campaign,very strongly over the years, finds it of utmost importance to address these burning issues of addiction and harmful social trends, which are destroying a generation, as early as possible, as a necessary preventive measure.

The official photographer of the session was a very well mannered volunteer from the 8th grade named Kanav Shroff, assisted by Khushii Raman, with the technical help from Harshit.
This extremely interesting and interactive adda session had the enthusiastic ‘soldiers’ of Bobby understanding the importance of following the formula of life as HCF(Health-Career-Family) . They understood the importance of keeping the right company.
They were emotionally moved by tragic incidents that Bobby narrated about his own family and other recent mishaps of young lives, because of addiction.
The soldiers were enlightened upon the fatality of smoking, alcoholism, substance abuse and smart phone addiction.They were sensitized against the use of abusive language, online gambling through video games and inappropriate/obscene behaviour online, to garner ‘views’ , as ongoing harmful trends.
The ceremonial titles of ‘The 1st soldier’ went to Khushii and ‘The Trendsetter’ went to Avantika.
The surprise contest at the end saw Ananya, Rishi and Gunjan emerging as winners, who along with Kanav, were given special prizes, HCF t-shirts and community service certificates by their beloved ‘Bobby bhaiya’.
The sparkling session ended with every soldier and teacher, shouting out the mantra of a soldier ‘I am the king of my mind’, along with Bobby, at the top of their voices, hands raised and palms clenched as a sign of resolution.
