- Youth took oath to build a healthy society
Colleges across the country are increasingly organizing special events, such as rallies, pledges, and street plays, to raise awareness among students as part of the Drug-Free India Campaign. These campaigns are receiving widespread enthusiasm to promote the message of keeping the young generation away from drugs and building a healthy society.
Under the “Drug-Free Youth for a Developed India” campaign, seven major colleges in Dhamtari district held drug de-addiction awareness programs. Under this special 100-week campaign, hundreds of students delivered an effective message against drug abuse to society through street plays, rallies, and various competitions.
