KMV Collegiate Sr. Sec School under Buddy Programme of Punjab Government in collaboration with Red Ribbon club and KMV NSS unit observed ‘World No Tobacco Day’. It received on overwhelming response from the students of all the streams (Arts, Commerce and Sciences). Students participated in various activities like Poster making, Poetry Recitation , Singing and Dancing to raise awareness on the harmful and deadly effects of tobacco use and second hand smoke exposure.
On this occasion, a Nukkad Natak titled ‘Aakhri Dhuaan’ was the main attraction of this programme.
