During the ‘Mann Ki Baat’ Radio programme, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi shared that a large number of people have been talking to him about the increase in usage of drugs. The Prime Minister described this as a very serious issue and assured that he will talk about the menace during the next ‘Mann Ki Baat’ radio programme.

The Open Forums invites you to talk about the menace of drugs. Share how you feel this menace can be mitigated, what steps can be taken to get youngsters out of this. You can share anecdotes – how you saved children from this menace of drugs or if you have had a personal experience. NGOs working in this sphere should contribute. Your contribution would be a major step in freeing India from the menace of drugs.

दृग की लत मानसिक समस्या है जो वस्तुतः डिप्रेशन से शुरू होती है लेकिन मनोचिकित्सा के बावजूद ये रुकने के बजाय बढ़ती ही जरही है । अतः जरूरत इस बात की है कि मानसिक अवस्थाओं पर गंभीर अध्ययन किया जाए जिसमे व्यक्ति को इतना सशक्त किया जा सके कि उसे इसकी जरूरत ही न पड़े। मुझे लगता है सबसे पहली जरूरत यही है लोगो को अवसाद से दूर रखना जिसका सीधा उपाय है मानसिक सशक्तिकरण क्योंकि यदि कोई तंत्र विकसित नहीं हो रहा है तो वो नष्ट हो रहा होता है। सुरक्ष की अनुभूति के लिए सामाजिक तंत्र को भी सुदृढ़ करने की जरूरत है।

my suggestion is that a high-profile educational advertisement be launched on TV/radio highlighting the tragic consequences of drug menace on family life - wife/children/parents - apart from its runing once own life. may be with some real-life examples.

I feel more than punishment of any sort to offender let us all strive to eradicate the underlying root cause for drug menace which according to me is overall injustice, unemployment, violence in the society. I'm not justifying the use of drugs to cater to such issues but certainly we have to make build a better society to tackle all such social issues so that such addiction wont take place in future. Secondly, those who are already addicted, we can treat them using Yoga, pranayam etc.

Elders to be friend,guide and mentors for them. 2- School- Trs. Shud be the guardians at school.Co curricular activities should include competitions(eg. Poster making,organizing exhibitions,slogan writing,Let us talk etc.)These awareness programmes shud not be lecture session by the trs. But student participative in mass. 3- Social media like Films, Ads.,TV serials should be strictly prohibited to promote or glamourize any kind of drug addiction.They leave grt. Impact on young minds.
