Army Public School, NOIDA, remains steadfast in its commitment to raising awareness about the adverse effects of tobacco use and fostering a tobacco-free environment. As part of this ongoing initiative, an essay writing competition on the theme “Ways to Make My School Tobacco-Free” was conducted on 21 January 2025.

Students actively participated, offering thoughtful recommendations such as conducting regular awareness sessions and engaging in classroom discussions to address the issue. Among the submissions, the essays by Anika Mishra, Ananya Gulia and Amrita Kumari were adjudged the top three. This initiative reinforced the importance of leading a healthy, tobacco-free lifestyle and emphasized the collective responsibility of creating a safer school environment.
