A renowned actor, activist, and method acting instructor from Kolkata, India, Bobby Chakraborty entered the school grounds, igniting the excitement and anticipation at St. Nicholas Public School in Garhbeta, West Medinipur. He was greeted with a lavish guard of honor by the children, the socially conscious Chairman Dhananjoy Pan, the ambitious Principal Soumyabrata Chakraborty, and all of the esteemed professors.

Bobby was present at this esteemed West Bengal school for the 468th session of his life-changing, worldwide, free awareness program for young people against various addictions (such as alcohol, smoking, and smartphones) and negative social trends (such as bullying, online obscenity to gain popularity, abusive language, gambling through online games, etc.). The program was appropriately named “I am The King of My Mind”.

The eager soldiers of the 7th through 11th grades enthusiastically participated in the highly interactive adda session as Bobby shared the secret formula of HCF (Health-Career-Family), which will enable them to combat every negative trend in society and the dark force of addiction as they grow up.

With the help of soldier Swagata Pal (VII), active soldier Prerana Nandi (X) served as the session’s official photographer.

Along with soldiers Shinjini Ghosh (VIII) and Harshabardhan Safi (VIII), soldier Debosmita Dutta (XI), who was also one of the winners in the final surprise challenge, received the special ceremonial titles of “The Trendsetter” and “The 1st Soldier”.

When the final bell rang, the soldiers were not prepared to leave, so they lined up for a photo or an autograph with their favorite “Bobby Dada”. The eye-opening session concluded with the teacher and all of the soldiers yelling the life motto, “I am the King of My Mind”, as a commitment.
