A Nationwide campaign in order to spread awareness amongst the youth is not even close to being easy. However, my students have taken it in their stride to be a part of such a great cause and I'm really proud of them. Media and Communication is a very upcoming field, and demands a great deal of innovative and quality professionals. The aim is to let the youth know about it and WWI is striving to do just that!"

The event later comprised of an entertaining evening consisting of various contests - the photography contest, poster-making contest, film-making contest and a dance contest.
