New Delhi, July 29: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to launch the ‘Nasha Mukta Yuva for Viksit Bharat Sankalp Abhiyaan’ on August 2, a nationwide initiative aimed at encouraging young people to stay away from substance abuse and promoting a healthier, stronger future for the country.

The campaign seeks to create awareness about the harmful effects of drug addiction while bringing together youth, families, educational institutions, and communities to support prevention and rehabilitation efforts.

Through this initiative, the government aims to inspire young citizens to become active participants in the fight against substance abuse by promoting awareness, responsible choices, and positive lifestyles.

Officials said the campaign will focus on reaching communities at the grassroots level and encouraging greater public participation to address the challenges linked to drug addiction. Special emphasis will be placed on empowering young people with knowledge, support systems, and opportunities for personal growth.

The initiative reflects the importance of protecting India’s youth population and creating an environment where young citizens can focus on education, careers, and nation-building without the impact of substance abuse.

With the launch of the campaign, the government hopes to strengthen collective efforts towards building a healthier, more aware, and drug-free India.
