Over 500 students from 20+ arts and science colleges in and around Chennai participated in the campaign, contributing through impactful posters, short films, essays, and artistic expressions.

Dr. Tamizharasi Shivakumar – Educationalist and Media Expert


Their motivating words empowered the youth and reinforced the message of resilience and conscious choices.

The venue for the event was generously sponsored by Annai Veilankanni College of Arts and Science, West Saidapet. Students from Don Bosco College of Arts and Science, Soka Ikeda College of Arts and Science, Mar Gregorios College, and Women's Christian College actively participated, coming together in a spirit of volunteerism and solidarity.

In a grand culmination, Don Bosco College of Arts and Science was awarded the Overall Trophy Winner of “The Power of NO” 2025, celebrating their outstanding contribution and student engagement.

A spokesperson from ILANGU NGO remarked,

> “This campaign was not just about saying no to drugs — it was about saying yes to a healthier, stronger future. We are proud to see youth stepping up as changemakers.”
