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.

Sirji, Part 1/8 : SAY NO/NA 2 ‘N-A-S-H-A”…..…..JAGAAYIYE JEEVAN KI “A-A-S-H-A” Our youth should realize the difference between ‘NASHA (DESTRUCTION) & AASHA (HOPE)’, while NASHA destroys them, AASHA creates a new hope. While NASHA finishes their life, AASHA gives a new “UMEED” - meaning to life! We call our youth, THE POWERHOUSE / DRIVING FORCE OF OUR YOUNG NATION – LET’S NOT ALLOW THIS POWERHOUSE TO BE SWAYED BY THE BAD VIBES OF NASHA!! SAY NO / NA TO DRUGS & SAY YES TO JEEVAN KI AASHA!!

Part 3 / 8: DRUG MENACE: AREA / LOCATION SPECIFIC ACTION PLAN IS NECESSARY TO CONTROL DRUG MENACE :- Further, if we analyze the problem bit deeper, we see that, most of the times, the favourite hunting ground of drug abuse happens in public parks, resorts in the outskirts of the cities, college hostels, pubs, bars, night clubs etc.. & each of these locations needs different action plans, often area specific, to tackle the drug menace. Authorities of these areas /spots sd have dos' & dont's!

Part 4/8:HOSTEL WARDENS TO WARD OFF THE DRUGS ENTRY BY WARDS:- Incase of college hostels, surprise check by hostel wardens, lecturers/principals, guardians & proper counseling, to begin with for Ist time offenders & strict action on repeated offenders could do the trick. NO PARENTS WD LIKE THEIR CHILDREN TO STUDY OUTSIDE THEIR HOMES, BUT FOR THE SAKE BETTER EDUCATION, THEY R OFTEN FORCED LEAVE THEM IN D HANDS OF HOSTEL WARDENS,& MORALLY SPEAKING,HOSTEL WARDENS SD HAVE A MECHANISM2CONTROL THIS.

PART 5/8: CONTROL/STOP DRUG ABUSE THROUGH MUSIC–IT HAS GREAT HEALING POWER! PLAY MELODIOUS(NOT LOUD) DESH BHAKTI/ DEVOTIONAL SONGS/ INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC IN PARKS THRU LOUD SPEAKERS, which can be installed on street light poles & LIGHT MUSIC (NOT NOISY!) can be played in moderate decibel level (WITHOUT CREATING RUCKUS OR NOISE) so that, PURE MUSIC OR SANGEET DOES NOT ALLOW ANY OF OUR YOUTH TO GO ASTRAY! MUSIC HAS GREAT HEALING POWERS & Let’s play Music in our parks-to control drug abuse!

PART 6/8 : SPORTS CAN CHECK DRUG ABUSE As many myGov volunteers have pointed out, increased engagement of our youth in O/D SPORTS activities could be an excellent to keep them away from drug abuse.Sports engagement has a great impact on one’s ability to remain focused, social, committed&above all, healthy/fit. Let’s encourage more & more different sports, BE IT CRICKET OR FOOTBALL OR KABADDI fields in vulnerable area such as N– E, J&K etc.How abt a combined Ranji team of N- E region in cricket

Part 7/8: SAY YEST TO SPORTS/MUSIC & SAY NO TO DRUGS -THE NEW AGE MANTRA FOR OUR YOUTH! In the recent times, youth from our N -E region have come up in a big way in sports&by encouraging sports in such regions further, we can put a halt spreading of drug menace. Engagement of our youth with SPORTS OR/& MUSIC could be the best way to check the abuse. Let’s popularize Cricket in N– E Region. Just as cricket has helped J & K youth from engaging themselves in sports, same can help N- E as well.

Part 8/8: PUB / BAR OWNERS SHOULD BAR ENTRY OF ANY KIND OF DRUGS IN THEIR PREMISES ! In the recent times, there have been odd cases of drug abuse taking place in the pubs/ bars etc.., & it’s high time, owners of such places be on guard & should try to control & BAR SUCH PRACTICES , once for all! Of course, law of the land should prevail for any violation of the law & the fear of this action should deter everyone from allowing any kind of activity that encourages drug abuse in their premises.
