Addiction towards smoking, alcoholism, vaping, smart phones, online gambling through games along with rampant use of abusive language, ragging, bullying, losing self respect to garner ‘views’ and ‘followers’ online have been the globally universal menace, that’s destroying the young minds and bodies, with their families too.
Renowned actor/activist/teacher of method acting from Kolkata, Bobby Chakraborty has been fighting against these evils in our society, for more than a decade through his globally acclaimed, free of cost awareness program titled ‘I am the king of my mind’ and changing millions of lives.
He is stationed now in Bangalore for a series of anti addiction campaigns for the Presidency Group of Schools, one of the leading educational institutions in India. On July 2nd he conducted his 424th session and his 2nd in Bangalore,at Presidency School Bangalore South(Bilekahalli), which created an overwhelming atmosphere among the students, who were highly motivated by Bobby to fight against these vices and rule one’s own mind. Bobby’s soldiers in this fight who were from 8th -12th grades, promised their captain to safeguard their physical and mental health at all cost and never to surrender to the dark forces of the society.
The official photographer of the session was soldier Pranav Hemachandra, a student of the 10th grade. The much coveted titles of ‘The 1st Soldier’ went to Aadya and ‘The Trendsetter’ went to soldier Clancy. The concluding surprise contest had soldiers Abhiram, Gitanshi and Clancy as the winners, who were given special prizes, HCF(health-career-family) t-shirts and community service certificates by their beloved Bobby Dada.
This session garnered a very strong and positive feedback from the students and their parents alike, who thanked the Management of The Presidency Group of Schools and the socially responsible Director of The Presidency Group of Institutions, Dr. Nafeesa Ahmed along with the dynamic Director of Academics of the Presidency Group of Schools, Dr. Angelo Michael D’Cruize, for collaborating with Bobby for this much needed awareness for their students.
