Multi-Department Interventions: Protecting the Student Community
To safeguard youngsters from falling into substance abuse patterns, the administration has designed a multi-layered security web in areas densely populated by students.
Secret Complaint Boxes in Coaching Centers

Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB)
