As many as 60 students from BA semester Ist, 3rd and 5th actively participated in the rally, demonstrating their commitment towards generating awareness and promoting a responsible and healthy society. The rally passed through the local community of the adopted village of Ramkote, where students interacted with residents and spread awareness through slogans and messages. The enthusiastic participation of the students reflected the college's commitment to community engagement and social responsibility.

Following the rally, the participating students visited the Breakfree Platform, where they were introduced to its awareness and support initiatives.
