Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the ‘Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan’ on Sunday through video conferencing, with the initiative aimed at encouraging young people to stay away from substance abuse and become ambassadors of positive social change.
The programme, scheduled for 11 am, will mark the beginning of a 100-week nationwide Jan Bhagidari campaign focused on creating awareness against drug abuse and promoting community participation in building a drug-free society.
According to an official statement, weekly activities will be organised every Sunday across the country under the campaign. These will include sports events, walkathons, meditation sessions, cultural programmes, awareness drives, street plays, discussion forums, art competitions and community engagement initiatives.
The campaign seeks to bring together educational institutions, youth organisations, civil society groups, industry bodies and spiritual organisations on a common platform to strengthen collective efforts against substance abuse.
Youth participation is expected from more than 10,000 locations across the country. MY Bharat volunteers, National Service Scheme volunteers, youth clubs, schools, colleges, universities, NGOs, youth wings of industry associations and over 125 partner spiritual organisations will take part in the virtual launch programme.
The initiative is aligned with Prime Minister Modi’s vision of a ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat’ and aims to support the broader goal of building a developed India by 2047 through active public participation.
The campaign’s central message highlights that drug-free youth represent a key strength for a developed India. Through the 100-week movement, the government aims to encourage young citizens to actively contribute towards creating a healthier and substance-free society.
