    It took so many years for the UGC to give such a directive to impart preventive drug education among students. Better late than ever. Already drugs had made such big damages to the students community in Mangalore. Congratulations to Kshema, the institution which was even otherwise giving much importance to the cause and people like Dr. Arunachalam Kumar and Dr. Sathesh Rao, who have been active crusaders of anti drugs drive in Mangalore.
