The play was aimed at spreading awareness about HIV-AIDS and drugs abuse. It also spoke against the discrimination meted out to HIV-AIDS patients.

“It was refreshing to see students speaking on such serious topics with a light heart and in a witty manner,” said the spokesperson. After the play, a survey was also undertaken to assess the level of students’ awareness about the issue. It was followed by an interactive session with the students in which their queries about HIV-AIDS were answered.

Raviraj Kaur, Principal of GMSSS 35, said it was a wonderful endeavour by the students of Punjab Engineering College to bring awareness among children. “The menace of drug abuse is on the rise, particularly in the slums. This effort of the PEC students will motivate other students to take up the responsibility of further spreading the awareness among those they come in contact with,” she added.
