APPEAL TO STUDENTS Dear Student Friends,
The number of people consuming alcohol, smoking tobacco and using drugs is increasing day-by-day. Every student of NITC is requested to spare
few minutes to go through the following information.
Studies show that students are more likely to drink, smoke and take drugs than the general population (Ref: Wikipedia.).
Many factors contribute to the above statement. Vigour of youth, sense of thrill,eagerness to explore the unknown, freedom from the parents, peer
pressure, culture and social environment, elution, etc. drive the students to these activities.
Alcohol
Although alcohol may give you a feeling of elation and aroused senses due to a lessening of inhibitions during the initial period of intoxication,
alcohol is a depressant. It depresses the central nervous system leading to slowed reactions, blurred vision, slurred speech, and ultimately, to
unconsciousness. Alcohol progressively affects different brain areas. Alcohol first affects the part of the brain that controls inhibitions. When people
lose their inhibitions, they may talk more/keep silent, get rowdy, do foolish things and trigger violence and complications. That is why the police
normally lift the person who appears as drunk, when some untoward incidents happen (road accident, law and order problems, etc.). Long-term
alcohol abuse will cause Liver Cirrhosis; the end result of chronic liver damage.
Smoking
As with alcohol, there can be lot of social pressure for students to smoke tobacco. Smoking increases your risk of lung cancer and heart disease. It
prematurely ages the skin, leads to gum disease and causes impotence. Smoking affects the near-by person also passively. Do not assume that
smoking will help you through the stress of examinations. Medical evidence shows that smoking does not calm you down. It is simply that nicotine
cravings between cigarettes make you feel stressed and anxious so when you have one smoke, you feel temporarily calm.
Drugs
Use of drugs has shown to alter gene expression and brain circuitry, which in turn affect human behaviour. Once addiction develops, these brain
changes interfere with an individual's ability to make voluntary decisions, leading to compulsive drug craving, seeking and use.
The impact of addiction can be cardiovascular disease, stroke, cancer, hepatitis, and lung disease can all be affected by drug abuse. Some of these
effects occur when drugs are used at high doses or after prolonged use; however, some may occur after just one use.
Legal penalties for drug possession can be severe. Imprisonment for several years was awarded in some cases. As one becomes addicted to drugs
easily which will lead to a disastrous effect on studies and health, better we will keep this away.
If you are an alcoholic or a smoker or a drug user, this would be the ideal time to quit this habit. Make a fresh start for a new way of life with a
positive outlook.
Now, Say a big 'NO' to alcohol, tobacco and drugs.
DROWNING
Dear Student Friends,
In the recent past we lost a few of our young friends by drowning in the river nearby. All the cases occurred in the afternoons immediately after
lunch; in almost all the cases they were found wearing thick full dress and in one case, mud was found in lungs. In addition, such cases of drowning
of young people are being reported every day by different newspapers. In this context the following have prime relevance. Drowning is the second
leading cause of death (after motor vehicle accidents) of children and youths (mainly males). Drowning is death from asphyxia due to suffocation
caused by water entering the lungs and preventing the absorption of oxygen leading to hypoxia (a continued lack of oxygen in the brain). A person
drowning is unable to shout or call for help, or seek attention, as they cannot obtain enough air. [Ref: Wikipedia]
Never attempt swimming on a full stomach: The digestive process diverts the circulation of the blood toward the gut and muscles become weak.
In many of the drowned cases, the stomach was seen full.
Never attempt swimming while in alcohol: Use of alcohol/drug affects the coordination and power leading to death by drowning.
Never attempt Swimming where the pond/river bed is unknown: Sudden drop on the river bed pushes the person down inside water without
notice. Unevenness on the flow bed may induce whirls which may suck the victim inside. Flash flood, under-currents, low temperature, presence
of mud, slippery rock, etc. complicates the situation.
Never attempt swimming with heavy clothing: Weight of the wet clothes matters and aggravates the problem.
Never attempt swimming when you are not fit/lack skill/without warm-up: Swimming is an activity which needs skill, power, stamina and
warm-up. Skill, physical and mental fitness are must to avoid the tragedy.
Never attempt swimming under peer pressure: Remember, friends cannot compensate the loss of a precious life.
So please think twice before you step into water.
