KEY TAKEAWAYS OF THE SESSION NASHA MUKT YUVA FOR VIKSIT BHARAT:
The programme formed a significant milestone under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan (NMBA), a flagship campaign of the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, launched on 15 August 2020 to combat substance abuse through awareness, prevention, community participation and rehabilitation. The campaign envisions a healthy, responsible and empowered India by safeguarding its youth from the menace of drugs and substance abuse.
The session also marked the launch of "Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat", an ambitious 100-week Jan Bhagidari Movement aimed at mobilising the youth of the nation to become ambassadors of a drug-free India. The campaign seeks to inspire students, educational institutions, volunteers and communities to work collectively towards the vision of Viksit Bharat (Developed India) by 2047.
Students and teachers of Vidya Bharati Chinmaya Vidyalaya assembled in the designated venue well before the commencement of the programme. The session began with an introduction to the objectives of the campaign, highlighting the importance of creating awareness against substance abuse among the younger generation.
Addressing millions of students across the country, the Hon'ble Prime Minister emphasized that the strength of a nation lies in the character, discipline and determination of its youth. He urged young minds to stay away from drugs, develop healthy habits, pursue sports and cultural activities, and become active contributors towards nation-building. He highlighted that drug addiction not only destroys an individual's future but also weakens families and society. The Prime Minister called upon every student to become a messenger of awareness and encourage others to choose a life of health, responsibility and purpose.
The interactive session reinforced the message that prevention through awareness and education is the strongest weapon against substance abuse. Students were encouraged to build resilience, make informed choices, seek guidance whenever required and support their peers in leading a positive lifestyle. The programme also stressed the collective responsibility of schools, parents, teachers and communities in nurturing a drug-free society.
During the programme, students enthusiastically participated in the Drug-Free India Pledge, reaffirming their commitment to remain free from all forms of substance abuse and to inspire others to adopt healthy and value-based lifestyles. The pledge reflected the ideals of responsible citizenship, self-discipline and social commitment.
The initiative highlighted several important developments under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan, including the nationwide expansion of the campaign to all districts, the strengthening of de-addiction facilities, community outreach programmes, and the launch of the NMBA 2.0 App, designed to enhance monitoring and implementation of awareness activities across the country.
Being chosen for this landmark, reinforced the school's commitment to holistic education rooted in the values of the Chinmaya Vision Programme. The programme beautifully aligned with the institution's emphasis on character building, self-discipline, moral values, patriotism and responsible citizenship.
The session concluded on an inspiring note, leaving students motivated to become ambassadors of the "Say No to Drugs" movement. They pledged to spread awareness among their families, friends and communities, recognising that a healthy youth forms the foundation of a strong and developed nation.
The Virtual Interactive Session proved to be an enlightening and impactful experience. It not only deepened students' understanding of the harmful effects of substance abuse but also inspired them to actively contribute towards the national mission of building a drug-free, healthy and developed India. The programme successfully instilled a sense of responsibility, patriotism and social consciousness among the participants, making it a memorable and meaningful learning experience for the entire Vidya Bharati Chinmaya Vidyalaya Family.
