One major part of drug menace is Pharmaceuticals Drug abuse. that is medicines being abused as drugs.which can be stopped with in 6 months without any complication. Identify items which are commonly used for drugs. There are very few say less than 15 items. Restrict their bulk drug production(Raw material) to few bulk drug manufacturers. Quantity should also be restricted as per annual genuine demand for pharmaceutical useThe raw material/ bulk drug will be sold to single govt agency. This govt

Drug menace is damaging root of India and most of the times it starts from schools. 1Awareness about harsh effects of drugs from school days is first step. 2We need to channelize the energy of youth through sports, yoga and meditation. Respect and means need to be given in the area of interest of individual youth so that they can excel. 3.Provision of CCTV near school and colleges for easily recognising culprits and taking strict action against them. 4. Rehabilitation club for drug addicts.

Drug Menace isn't just India's issue infact a worlwide, Its every parent, teacher's responsiblity that we educate our children and Government's responsibility is to go after the root cause with full force not after drug users and provide care/support for those who have problems. Blacklist people who are involved drug trafficking regardless who they are, raise punishment levels, set examples for others so that they think twice before committing this crime.

Drug Addiction is a fear every parent shares not only across India, but across the world. Some steps to prevent this could be 1. Educate (not exaggerate) children on Drugs and its ill effects even before the puberty age. 2. Show Television Programs/Advertisments to educate youngsters and adults about Drug addiction and why it should be avoided 3. Checks at Schools and Colleges on random basis to eliminate the source of drug trafficking 4. Stringent punishment for drug traffickers in the society

जागरूकता एक बड़ा हथियार बन सकती है नशा मुक्ति के खिलाफ। विद्यार्थी नशे के प्रति बहुत उत्सुक रहते हैं खास तौर पर जब वह पहली बार घर से बाहर निकलते हैं, और यह उत्सुकता भी इसलिए क्योंकि घर वे अपने बड़ो को यह करते हुए देखते हैं, और घर पर वह कुछ कर नहीं सकते तो जब बाहर आते हैं तो सबसे पहले वे नशे को ही आजमा कर देखते हैं, इस का अर्थ यह है कि युवाओं पर नशे की प्रवृत्ति को बढ़ावा कहीं न कहीं उनके अपने ही देते हैं
