In the letter, the Minister emphasised the critical role of the educational institutions in shaping a drug-free future for Delhi.
Ahead of the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking on 26th, Delhi’s Social Welfare Minister Ravinder Indraj Singh has now written to vice-chancellors of all universities in the capital, urging them to actively support the state’s drug prevention campaign. The Minister has called for the immediate formation of ‘Nasha Mukti Clubs’ across campuses and the official declaration of university premises as Drug-Free Zones.
In the letter, the Minister emphasised the critical role of the educational institutions in shaping a drug-free future for Delhi. “The dream of a healthy, empowered, and drug-free Delhi can only be achieved with strong public and institutional participation,” he wrote.
The initiative is part of the wider ‘Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan (NMBA)’, a national campaign led by the Government of India for drug demand reduction.
The Minister also invited university students to attend the mega event being organised by the state government at 9 am at the Yamuna Sports Complex. The event is expected to see widespread participation from students, educators, and civil society members.
