These films were not only entertaining and informative but were eye openers in the real sense as they were depicting, how the menace of drugs has seeped into the very roots of our society and has destroyed them. Final yr. proved its worth by bagging the 1^st Prize in this category and 3^rd yr. got the 2^nd Prize.
