Bobby Chakraborty successfully carried out the session worldwide of his life-altering, free-of-cost, preventive anti-addiction campaign at Narula Public School-Mogra, Hooghly, one of the prestigious schools in West Bengal. The expansive campus was filled with euphoria and overwhelm.

This once-in-a-lifetime experience was successfully arranged for their students in the sixth, ninth, and eleventh grades by the enterprising JIS group, the socially conscious and dynamic Principal Kamalpreet Kaur, a strong supporter of Bobby’s awareness drive, and her effective team of teachers and coordinators, with Manab Paul serving as Bobby’s main point of contact.

For the past 20 years, Bobby, a well-known actor, activist, and method acting instructor from Kolkata, has been transforming millions of lives with this potent interactive program for kids, aptly named I AM THE KING OF MY MIND. Through a variety of entertaining activities and thought-provoking social experiments, this program empowers a child to avoid all types of addictions (smoking, alcoholism, smartphones) and detrimental social trends (abusive language, online obscenity for social media popularity, gambling through online games, bullying, ragging, etc.).

With assistance from soldier Arko Saha (VI), who also received the ceremonial title of The Best Friend, Anurag Sharma (XI), a very polite and diligent soldier, served as the official photographer for this glamorous session. Enthusiastic soldiers Arnabi Das (IX) and Abhra Das (XI) received the other two coveted titles of The 1st Soldier and The Trendsetter.

Soldiers Abhra, Arnabi, and Samudra Goswami (VII) won the final fun contest. They and Anurag received special prizes, personalized HCF t-shirts, and Community Service Certificates from Bobby.

Following the Principal’s inspirational vote of thanks, the soldiers gathered around their favorite Bobby Dada to give him hugs, touch his feet, get his autograph, and take selfies. This resulted in delightful chaos.
