Social evils of addiction and harmful trends like smoking, alcoholism, smart phone addiction, online obscenity to grab eyeballs, online gambling through games etc. have become rampant in every strata and should be addressed to a child as early as possible.
Reputed actor/activist/teacher of method acting from Kolkata-India, Bobby Chakraborty has been raising awareness among the children,against those evils, with remarkable consistency since 2012, through his globally acclaimed,award winning,free of cost, anti addiction campaign titled ‘I AM THE KING OF MY MIND’. Till date he has reached nearly 430 schools, colleges, universities, red light areas and orphanages with his awareness program and saved thousands of young lives and families.
Recently in July, he collaborated with one of the most nationally renowned chain of schools from Karnataka-India, The Presidency Group of Schools (PGS) – Bangalore to conduct 6 inspirational & motivating campaigns in 6 of their schools . They were :-
1) PRESIDENCY SCHOOL-NANDINI LAYOUT
2) PRESIDENCY SCHOOL BANGALORE NORTH(PSBN)
3) PRESIDENCY SCHOOL BANGALORE SOUTH
4) PRESIDENCY SCHOOL – R. T. NAGAR
5) PRESIDENCY SCHOOL – KASTURI NAGAR
6) ST. PAUL’S ENGLISH SCHOOL
From various videos/photos/posts in the social networking platforms and after having a talk with the changemaker himself, it can be understood that all the 6 campaigns were resounding success, with highly positive feedbacks from nearly 5000 Students(7-12th grade) , Parents, Teachers , Principals and The Administration, who were extremely appreciative about Bobby’s noble initiative, to build a healthier and wiser young generation, who are our future.
Dr. Nafeesa Ahmed, The socially responsible Director of The Presidency Group of Institutions(PGI) , which governs numerous schools, colleges and a university in Karnataka, praised Bobby…“I truly appreciate it. I thoroughly enjoyed your motivational session. It was inspiring and thought provoking. Your insights have made a significant impact on our children. Your ability to inspire and motivate through your words is commendable and I am certain that your contributions will continue to positively influence many. I look forward to many more such enlightening interactions in the future.”
Dr. Angelo Michael D’Cruize, a renowned name in the Indian Educational World , who is the dynamic Director of Academics of PGS, who is also The Principal of PSBN and on whose initiative, Bobby was there in Bangalore, was highly appreciative about his awareness drive said …“ Thank you so so much Bobby for these wonderful sessions at our schools and what you have done for our students. They are awestruck! You have awakened their senses. My prayers and blessings are with you as you touch many more young lives through your powerful anti addiction campaign, which is the need of the hour”.
We too wish Bobby a great journey ahead to every corner of the world, as we earnestly feel that this awareness should reach each and every child out there, before it’s too late.
