The menace of Drug Addiction could be countered through following :- 1. Sensitization of youngsters about harmful effects of drugs. 2. "Youth Centers " should be envisioned which would provide Counseling , Skill Development ,Moral Guidance and Spiritual Research facilities. 3. Focused and trained mind of a youngster would prevent any kind of addiction. 4. Meditation and spiritual research should be part of school and college curriculum.

the problem lies at grassroot level .firstly the shops/chemist which sell and secondly lack of knowledge about the ill effects of it. There should something in the syllabus of a child from very begining when he gains conscoius in schools. lastly but mainly police should educate and create fear in the childs mind ,how it could spoil the future ,carer and life of his. SOMETIMES FEAR IS GOOD

Drug problems in boarder states such as Punjab and Rajasthan must be dealt with at a priority basis. Otherwise we will have no Poruses to stop the invading Alexanders.

Drug abuse and health problems due to smoking should be included in science curriculum from primary school onwards. Videos and experiments showing the bad effect of the drugs and smoking on body should be shown to children of all ages. Team of doctors and health care professionals should go door to door, checking members of families for drug problems and getting them registered for treatment and rehabilitation.

To tackle the issue of drug use we have to begin from the grass root level that is from the childhood from the schools. Most drug addicts are shaped from the school level. Our school management, police and the government lack the resource ability and will to stop drugs been supplied to school children. If a strong plan is implemented and carried out in the right way, we can to an extend stop drugs from reaching the hands of our future generation.

आदरणीय मोदीजी , एन.सी.ई.आर.टी तथा सभी राज्यों के पाठ्य पुस्तक निगमों को निर्देशित कर शराब, सिगरेट तथा ड्रग्स से होने वाले दुश्परिणामो को स्कूल की पुस्तकों मे शामिल किया जाये तो बच्चों को युवावस्‍था से पहले ही सावधान किया जा सकता है | टीवी व रेडियो पर राष्ट्रव्यापी विग्यापन अभियान से भी युवकों मे इस विषय के प्रति जागरूकता लायी जा सकती है |
