PM Modi on Sunday launched the 'Drug Free Youth for Viksit Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan'.

The goal of a developed India will be fulfilled only when the youth of the country are physically and mentally healthy and free from drugs. He said that for the next 100 weeks, every Sunday, the message of drug de-addiction will be spread across the country through art, culture, sports and other activities. The Prime Minister called upon the youth to lead this campaign and play their part in creating a developed India by 2047. Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the goal of a developed India will be fulfilled only when the youth of the country are physically and mentally healthy as well as free from drugs. He said that drugs give high for a while, but can take a toll on career and family life. Drug addiction distracts the youth and slowly takes them away from their dreams. Modi said the campaign, which started as a pilot project from Kashi, has now become a national mass movement. More than 125 spiritual organisations, social organisations and NGOs are associated with it. 5 big takeaways from the PM's speech... 1. Drug addiction breaks both dreams and family PM Modi said that intoxication distracts the youth and slowly takes them away from their dreams. Today the youth of India are leading the world in areas like start-ups, AI and space, but if any youth gets caught in the clutches of drugs, not only his dreams but the entire family loses. Addiction shatters a father's dreams and even a sister's hopes. 2. Enemy countries are targeting youth through drugs The Prime Minister said that drugs not only weaken the individual but also the strength of the nation. Enemy countries conspire to trap Indian youth in the web of drugs. The government is continuously taking stringent action against drug peddlers and smugglers. 3. Drugs are a temporary high, but lifelong harm PM Modi said that drugs give high for a while, but ruin career and family life. He said that our saints and gurus have also taught us to stay away from drugs. Quoting Sri Guru Granth Sahib, he said that the intoxication that robs a person of his intellect and conscience, it leads him to downfall. 4. The youth who have come out of addiction should get a second chance: The Prime Minister said that the youth who come out of the fight against drug addiction are not weak but true warriors. Society should respect them, accept them and give them a second chance. A person's past is not his identity, but his true identity is his courage to overcome his difficulties. 5. Crackdown on drug mafia increased manifold PM Modi said that strict action is being taken continuously against drug dealers and smugglers in the country. Drugs are being seized in large quantities and the action has increased manifold than before. He said that this is proof of the government's zero tolerance policy against drugs.
