The condition of Mohanpur villages is so bad that even during day time peoples are found drunkard. Most of the people spend their earning on wine. As a result ladies of village have to work to bring up their children .In a survey 45% parents were found involved in the evil of drinking. After over all calculation, students felt that the community members waste near about 78000/- on wine. Besides it they waste three months in a year on average in drinking.

After over all discussion in school, we met the sarpanch and shared our concern. He was very impressed with us and told that he was planning for the same campaign for a long time. He assured to help at every step to make the campaign success.

It was a very wonderful initiative taken by the students of Satya Bharti School. They have changed the thinking of community members. Now every person is feeling that how small children are aware about this evil while we have wasted our wealth, health and respect.

In a picture he showed me that there is only and only loss .Loss of wealth, health and respect. That day he opened my eye and I gave up drinking.
