We ‘Feel’:The evil of drinking is most harmful for individual and society.In a survey ,we found that near about 268 people are involved in this evil. There is a wine shop near our school which creates very bad environment for students .People abuse to each other all the time. So many time there was seen fighting between drunkard.One person spends 60/- per day on wine as a result the entire village waste 1,90,000/- yearly. If this money may be spent for the welfare ,it will uplift the living standard of people. But the people are not aware about this.

We ‘Imagined’

We imagine if we aware the community members about this evil and all the harms will be calculated ,there may be change in the life style of people. A healthy environment can be created by removing the wine shop .People will be healthy, wealthy and wise if this evil will be removed completely from society. For all this the mentor teacher planned for the following activities: Meeting with Panchyat members.•Rally•Role Play•Counseling•Door to door visit
