“Saiyam has helped me learn the importance of being an Anti-Addict in life. Addiction is dangerous and we were also made aware about the ways we can overcome addiction. We also are aware about the disadvantages of addictions in life and how it spoils our future.”
— Student

“Every youth who destroys his/her life due to addiction is a loss for our society. We believe that tackling this widespread concern is a huge challenge, but one that we can stand up against– Together!”
