Students in the 7th through 12th grades at Vidyanjali International School went through a roller coaster of confessions, tears, and euphoria during Anti Addiction Campaign (AAC) no.433.

This internationally acclaimed, free, mind-bending, preventive awareness program for kids was led by well-known actor, activist, and method acting teacher Bobby Chakraborty of Kolkata. He won over the hearts and minds of all the students. He had a profound effect on them by bringing up issues like smoking, alcoholism, mobile phones, gaming, online gambling, online obscenity, abusive language, and other addictions. He also taught them simple yet effective ways to avoid these things, which are destroying children’s physical and mental health these days.

Bobby’s award-winning lesson, “I AM THE KING OF MY MIND,” teaches children to control their thoughts and resist temptations that could ruin their families, careers, and health.

Saksham Kumar Yadav, an enterprising seventh-grade student, was the “star” of the session. He won the three crucial titles of The First Soldier, The Trendsetter, and The Winner of the final surprise contest—something that has never happened in Bobby’s AAC’s history! The other two winners were Isha Dave from eighth grade and Tanisq Agarwal from tenth grade. Along with the official photographer of this highly interactive session, Vihaan Vijay Kumar, an incredibly well-behaved and obedient soldier from the 11th Grade, who was assisted by soldier Jay Mehta of the 8th Grade, they were all given special prizes, customized HCF t-shirts, and community service certificates by their beloved Bobby Dada.

A great session indeed.
