The document summarizes an anti-alcohol drive conducted by students of Satya Bharti School in Kharkhadawas village, Haryana. The students felt that around 50% of parents in the village regularly consumed alcohol, which was adversely impacting the village. Through nukkad nataks and plays, the students were able to convince 30 parents to take an oath to stop consuming alcohol. Both the villagers and teachers appreciated the students' initiative. Going forward, the students will continue to generate awareness about the ill effects of alcohol and aim to make the village completely alcohol-free within the next 3 months.
