Underage Drinking Awareness Week Kicks off in Delhi by Delhi University and CADD

No drunken driving for over a week, and this is the pledge taken by the students of Delhi University for this Valentine Day. Their pledge is a part of another wonderful initiative by the students and an NGO named Underage Drinking Awareness Week, which is being observed currently (February 8th to 14th) throughout Delhi

The combined initiative between Delhi University and CADD (Campaign Against Drunken Driving) assumes so much significance considering the fact early teen kids have embracing the habit of alcohol consumption and there is abundant research saying the earlier a person starts taking it the longer they continue with the habit.

Assuming the importance of V-Day in our Indian calendar, of late, to celebrate the Valentine Day true to its meaning while staying away from alcohol and pledging against the drunken driving by the students of Delhi University is more than a wonderful gesture.

Several thousands of Delhi youth supported the campaign and CADD hopes to see more youth supporting the movement by the weekend. As part of the campaign students are conducting several activities and programs including signature campaign, drunken driving awareness through street skits, distributing campaign stickers and literature to youth. Hopefully, the Underage Drinking Awareness Week does a world of good to awaken the youth and with law enforcement initiative wanting from the government side, campaigns like CADD and Underage Drinking Awareness Week are good and followable by other universities and even schools throughout India. It's then that we can hope to see the young Indian brigade embracing the message of St. Valentine in the truest sense.
