The morning of September 9 saw a massive gathering of youngsters at JC Road. This group of young men and women were from the Sri Bhagawan Mahaveer Jain College and were getting together for an Anti-Tobacco Rally to educate public about the health hazards of tobacco. Joining hands with them to spread this very important message was St Martha’s Hospital.

The rally was organized by Ms. Suma V Rao, Principal of Jain College and Ms. Usha P.S, Conveyer of the college’s Eco Club.
