The comprehensive three-year Nasha Mukt Vidyalaya (NMV) Action Plan (2026–2029) under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan was introduced by the Ministry of Education, Government of India, with the goal of making all educational institutions drug, tobacco, and addiction-free by March 2029.

Bobby Chakraborty, a well-known actor, activist, and method acting instructor from Kolkata, India, made waves at The Future Foundation School with his groundbreaking anti-addiction campaign, session no. 490 globally, for students in the 7th, 8th, 9th, and 11th grades, in line with that potent national plan. This was also his fourth term at this esteemed Kolkata school.

For the past 20 years, Bobby has been assiduously implementing the “I am the king of my mind” awareness campaign for kids all around the world at no cost. The goal of this interactive session, which has won numerous awards, is to empower children against harmful social trends such as bullying, ragging, abusive language, online obscenity to gain popularity on social networking sites, online gambling through games, and smoking, alcoholism, and smartphone addiction.

The students were greatly impacted by this unforgettable event, which many described as the most significant awareness program in their whole school careers. The pupils, who adored and learned from Bobby’s distinctive and potent methods of addressing societal issues with his signature humor and enjoyable activities for them, had emotional moments, promises, confessions, and a great deal of friendship. The parents have also given very excellent feedback, expressing gratitude to Bobby and the school administration for organizing such an important event for their kids, which is much needed.

Ron Das Mahapatra (IX), a very gregarious and well-mannered soldier, served as the official photographer for this thrilling session. Sandipta Basu (VIII), a soldier who also won the title of The Best Friend in the social experiment, helped him.

Soldier Soujatya Ghosh (VIII), who was undoubtedly the most engaged student in the audience, received the other two ceremonial titles of The First Soldier and The Trendsetter.

Soldiers Soujatya Ghosh (again), Prapti Banerjee (IX), and Revanth Agarwal (IX) emerged victorious in the final recapitulation competition. Bobby gave them and Ron unique awards, personalized soldiers’ T-shirts, and community service certificates.
