On the occasion of World No Tobacco Day, observed on 20.05.2025, the NCC unit of Arasu Engineering College, under the 8 (TN) BN NCC, Kumbakonam, actively participated in the 6th National Online Contest organized to raise awareness on the ill effects of tobacco. This
online initiative aimed to educate and encourage youth across the nation to reject tobacco consumption and promote a healthier lifestyle. Our cadets registered and took part in the virtual events with dedication and a spirit of social responsibility. Various online activities such as quizzes, poster making, and slogan writing were included in the contest.

Through this national-level engagement, cadets were able to deepen their understanding of the harmful consequences of tobacco use. The event empowered them to serve as role models and peer educators in their communities. It also reinforced the importance of preventive health awareness as a part of NCC’s community development efforts. The cadets’ participation highlighted their alignment with NCC’s vision of building responsible and health-conscious citizens. The college administration appreciated the cadets’ involvement in this meaningful
digital campaign.
