New Delhi, 1st Aug: Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the ‘Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan’ through video conferencing at 11 AM on August 2, marking the beginning of a 100-week nationwide public participation campaign against substance abuse.
The initiative aims to encourage young people to stay away from substance abuse and become ambassadors of positive social change in their communities.
Under the campaign, activities will be organised every Sunday across the country for 100 weeks to spread awareness and mobilise public participation towards building a drug-free society.
The programmes will include sports events, walkathons, meditation sessions, cultural programmes, awareness drives, nukkad nataks, discussion forums, art competitions and other community engagement activities.
The campaign will bring educational institutions, youth organisations, civil society groups, industry bodies and spiritual organisations together on a common platform to strengthen the movement against substance abuse.
Youth from more than 10,000 locations across the country are expected to participate virtually in the launch. MY Bharat volunteers, National Service Scheme volunteers, youth clubs, schools, colleges, universities, NGOs and youth wings of industry associations will join the programme.
More than 125 partner spiritual organisations will also participate in the initiative, aimed at turning the fight against substance abuse into a nationwide Jan Bhagidari movement.
