Respected Modiji Maybe the following could be pondered upon: 1. Burning of leaves etc. This is a major cause of pollution esp in winter times. This also burns up precious oxygen. The leaves can easily be converted to compost for the fields. 2. Necessity of not speaking on mobiles while driving. 3. Simply hang a plastic bag in the car and dispose of trash in that instead of throwing it on the roads.

If people are involved in creative activities;they are given their due importance;their efforts in their fields are appreciated and encouraged,there is hardly any reason for them to move towards drugs.It is a psychological problem and should be treated in that way.A proper counselling of patients and their guardians can lead to an effective and long lasting solution because through counselling the very roots of the problem can be identified and treated.

We must create social support groups at every village/ward level. we must appeal and bring together well meaning individuals in those place and make them to interact with all families in that area to bring out any concerning issues and provide them counselling plus physical and financial support wherever needed. People must be able to discuss any issues with these goup openly. In the absence of Joint Family system these social groups can provide the necessary support to create a bonding

A comprehensive strategy is needed to tackle this problem.When people feel themselves neglected,they try to fill this vacuum by these type of things.Here comes the role of family,friends & society.If since childhood they are nurtured with love & values,there are very less chances of deviation towards drugs or any other such activities.On the other hand,government should also secure its borders so that the drug supply from eastern & western sides of India can be prohibited.

Sports must be given due importance. Children and youth love sports. They should be encouraged to play. Sports has the capacity to give high. The youth will forget drugs. Once a sport lover always a sport lover. Sports as a career, second to none, for 5% of the working population must be envisaged. This would channel the energy of youth on the right path and bring glory to the country. As a bonus the sports industry will flourish.

Make the narco drugs act more tough so that no body is able to think about this.Give more power to the CBN which is a body under the DOR.

Restructuring of Narcotics Control Bureau on the basis of International Standards and Best practises and strengthening it by amendment of NCB laws confirming to Modern times and a recruitment drive to involve youngsters in Prohibition and Prevention of Drug abuse. A huge amount of Drugs is smuggled in India through International Borders near Nepal and Pakistan.Deployment of CCTv cameras and Dog squad and honest checking by BSF staff can reduce the inflow.

Solutions for this issue: 1> Art of living Happiness program ("Sudarshan Kriya") should be compulsory in the college curriculum. 2> From Standard 5th, each year student must play new game. for more info in this topic refer pondicherry Arvind Ashram as a Case study. 3>We should put more emphasis on Indian Family Systems. When people feel alone they prefer to get "high". so government should give some benefit (like tax benefit) to joint families. it will create more human values in peoples' mind.

Need to make all organized crime as severe offence, Death penalty to award if found guilty in fast track court. Drug, Enviroment pollution, economic offence ,rape, should be considered as organized crime.People are fade up with judiciary system, see nirvaya case , not yet the case is closed & punishment awarded instead court ruled to remove dark glass from cars.This happened in a bus that too in late night, how this matter is related to dark filmed car, police harrassing public only.
