Students from Himachal Pradesh have set a new world record by flying 7,730 paper planes in under a minute.

“This is part of a community development project to shun tobacco which started on 14 November 2016. Eighty boys and girls have set a world record by flying 7,730 paper planes with messages to create awareness among the youth,” said Sanjeev Atri, organiser of the drive and a teacher at the school.

The record was previously held by the students of Maria International School of New Zealand, where 87 students had flown 3,622 paper planes in a minute.

“It is important for young generation to stay away from drugs. We are doing a campaign against drug menace and today I am very happy that we have set a world record to send a message against drugs,” said Abhijeet, a participant in the campaign.
