Based on that, AUK is pleased to host Safe Campaign which represents the efforts of KFSD and Equate to create awareness among the college’s students and staff through this three-day activity. Being an educational organisation, AUK continuously aspires to support initiatives that benefit and serve the society and its members as a whole.”
