Anti-Drug Awareness Session at HITEC University

HITEC University successfully hosted a powerful and insightful Anti-Drug Awareness Session as part of HEC’s Phase-II Campaign against drug abuse in educational institutions.

We were honored to welcome Major General Abdul Moeed, Hilal-i-Imtiaz (Military), Director General Anti-Narcotics Force Pakistan, along with his esteemed team. DG ANF delivered a compelling address, highlighting the alarming rise of chemical-based drugs, which are odorless, easy to conceal, but extremely dangerous. He explained the two main categories of drugs—plant-based and chemical-based—and urged students to stay away from not only traditional narcotics but also vapes, VELO, and other harmful substances that do not directly fall under the category of drugs but are equally damaging.

Despite ANF’s limited manpower of just 3,000 personnel covering the entire country, he expressed confidence in students, encouraging them to become ambassadors of awareness within their families, peer groups, and communities. His message was clear: fighting drugs is a collective responsibility, and every individual can play a role in eradicating this menace.

Our Vice Chancellor, Professor Dr. S. Kamran Afaq, also delivered an inspiring speech, emphasizing the role of faith, strong willpower, and discipline in overcoming societal evils like drug abuse. He appreciated the university’s ongoing efforts, including a fully functional Anti-Drug & Tobacco Committee, student counseling support, and year-long interdepartmental physical activities aimed at keeping students engaged in healthy and productive pursuits.

A special thanks to the Office of the Director Student Affairs for organizing this impactful session and ensuring a well-structured, informative, and engaging event for our students. Together, we remain committed to providing a safe, healthy, and drug-free learning environment!

• Say NO to Drugs – Be the Change!
• Raise Awareness, Protect Your Future!
• Together, We Can Create a Drug-Free Society!
