On June 18, a rainy and cloudy morning in Kolkata gave way to sunshine in the glittering auditorium of Julien Day School in Ganganagar, where eager members of Bobby Chakraborty‘s army from Class 7 gathered to make a lifelong commitment to combat toxic social trends and addictions such as alcoholism, smoking, smartphone addiction, abusive language, using online obscenities to gain popularity, gambling through online games, and more.

The 461st session of Bobby’s award-winning, internationally acclaimed, free, preventive anti-addiction campaign, “I am the King of my Mind”, was held here with much fanfare and positive feedback from the students and their parents. Bobby is a well-known actor, activist, and method acting instructor.

With the help of soldier Arnab Bhowmick, who was also given the significant ceremonial title of “The 1st Soldier”, devoted soldier Samriddha Mahapatra served as the official photographer for this unforgettable adda. Soldier Abir Ghosh received the additional significant ceremonial title of “The Trendsetter”.

Soldiers Srijita Chakroborty, Adrij Das, and Aadrit Mukherjee won the final surprise competition. Bobby presented them with community service certificates, special prizes, and Health-Career-Family (HCF) t-shirts.
