You are appointed as the principal of a school, which is located in a backward district. A colleague brings to your attention that a group of boys indulge in smoking during school hours within the vicinity of the school. The same group has also repeatedly been caught consuming alcohol in the school premises. No form of punishment seems to be effective while dealing with this particular group. Upon investigation, you find that the boys belong to low-income families and have picked up the habits from elders at home and neighbours. The teachers are concerned about the effect it will have on other students. You also realise that this problem has to be addressed as quickly as possible. In this context, answer the following questions: 20 (a) Identify the factors that make young people take up such harmful habits? What is the role of educational institutions in inculcating right habits among the students? (b) How would you address the immediate issue? Analyse the options available to you in this regard. (c) How will you bring about a behavioural change among students in this case?
