If we have a look upon everything happening around us we will find that it emerges from need for recognition, need for achievement, low esteem and poor social adjustment. Thus these social issues must be dealt immediately. Unless and until we get back to our own roots we wouldn't reach to the solution. Culture should be strengthened by creating appropriate examples before the generation. Moreover one of the other prominent reason is self medication and misguidance.

I think by eleminating Poverty,by giving education to all and to give education ,first by providing food to all are the three ways to tackle with drug menace in India.Sir in my town Jamshedpur childrens of 4,5,..10yrs are taking cough syrup,dendrite & so many other things for Nasha.To me the cause is they do not have "Roti,kapda , makan & family".When they grows up will become drug addict.Unemployment =>Frustration => Drug.We all have to do our duties honestly for developement of our society.

4) Main point is the parents should become more responsible towards their children. Also the major issue is spreading HIV thro the used syringes among the drug addicts.

MY VIEWS ON DRUG MENANCE HAS TO BE BASED ON TWO POINTS 1)WE SHOULD BRING ALL THE DRUG PRODUCING FACTORIES AND UNITS UNDER INDIAN NARCOTICS ACT AND A SEPERATE JUDICIARY FOR THE MENANCES RELATED TO THE DRUGS AND THE OFFENDERS PRACTICING DRUG MENANCED SHOULD BE SUBJECTED TO HANGING OR SHOULD BE IMPRISIONED FOR LIFETIME OR SHOULD BE PROSECUTED BEFORE THE GENERAL PUBLIC SECONDLY THERE SHOULD BE A SUBJECT IN THE EDUCATIONAL CIRICULLUM ABOUT HOW DRUG MENANCE AFFECTS THE SOCIETY IN GENERAL.

6)અને એક અગત્યની વાત કે આ મન કી બાત કાર્યક્રમને અદ્ભુત સફળતા તો મળી જ છે પણ આપે આ થકી આકાશવાણીમાં પણ નવો પ્રાણ ફૂક્યો છે. આ માટે ખૂબ ખૂબ આભાર

5)Now the suggestion which I am giving may find u weird , but think over it. As there are condom wending machines and condom are freely available in some of the areas/ centers same way these syringes should also be available freely, so that at least a step to avoid spreading HIV can be taken. Controlling Drug abuse is one part and controlling spreading HIV is another part. This is bold and new idea.

All drug producing factories should be close. It is need to strict discipline for user and seller. Stop retailing of drug and if anyone use and sell drugs, they should be punished for one year jail and maximum fines.
