About Nasha Mukt Abhiyan

272 districts across the country have been selected for the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan. The campaign was launched on 15th August 2020 with the aim to create awareness about substance abuse and its ill effects among the youth, university students, and school children. The objective of the campaign is to make people aware of the harmful effects of drugs and to change their perception of drug use. 

The campaign also aims to engage the community in this effort and to create a sense of ownership among them. The launch of this campaign is a step in the right direction toward creating a drug-free India. The government has taken many initiatives in recent years to curb drug use in the country. However, these efforts have not been very successful. Drug use is still rampant in many parts of the country. 

There is a need to create more awareness about the harmful effects of drugs and to change people’s perceptions about drug use. The launch of this campaign is a step in the right direction toward creating a drug-free India.
