Bahadurjeet Singh/Rupnagar, June 26,2023
In a powerful initiative against drug abuse, students from Akal Academy Schools in Rupnagar participated in a remarkable campaign called the ‘World’s Largest Hand Impression’ campaign. This unique activity aimed to set records in both the ‘World Book of Records, UK’ and the ‘Limca Book of Records’ while symbolically taking an oath against drug abuse with approximately 1 lakh hand impressions.
The event witnessed a tremendous turnout, with a total of 860 students participating from Akal Academy Kamalpur of Rupnagar District.
To create their unique hand impressions, the children dipped their hands in vibrant acrylic colors, capturing the essence of their pledge against drug abuse. These hand impressions were then photographed and uploaded to a dedicated submission web portal managed by the esteemed Kalgidhar Trust.
Expressing her views on the campaign, Principal Amandeep Kaur of Akal Academy kamalpur stated, “Akal Academy Schools are always eager to engage in such impactful activities. We firmly believe that if children are instilled with strong values, especially the importance of staying away from drugs, at an early age, they will not only refrain from getting involved in drug abuse themselves but also inspire others to follow suit.”
Akal Academy is a chain of 120 schools located in rural North India, dedicated to promoting value-based education. Through their continuous efforts, they strive to empower students with essential life skills, enabling them to make informed choices and contribute positively to society.
Akal Academy’s Record-Breaking Hand Impression Campaign Fights Drug Abuse. The ‘World’s Largest Hand Impression’ campaign serves as a potent reminder of the collective responsibility we all share in combating drug abuse. By involving the youth in such meaningful initiatives, the Akal Academy Schools are fostering a generation that is aware, committed, and determined to create a drug-free future for themselves and their communities.
