Nerila Syiem, when informing about the aim of the awareness program also encourages the participants to learn as much as possible from the program in order to avoid falling prey to these social evils. The DBMN team conducted two sessions, the morning session was dedicated to social media and its effects on the youth particularly on the students, the participants were made aware of the evils that social media is in a subtle way affecting them. Father Michael told them that 79% of what is in social media are fake thus asking the students to refrain from believing whatever they see or hear on social Media. Towards the end of the first session the resource persons informed the participants of the various disadvantages and negative effects brought by social media in the social, mental, physical, spiritual and intellectual growth of a human being. The second session was on substance addictions. Videos and PowerPoint presentations on tobacco, drugs and alcohol helped the participants to understand what are the substances found in each of them and what effects they have when they are consumed by a human being.
