Central Bureau of Narcotics organises drug awareness programmes for MP youth

Under Mission Yuva Raksha, the Central Bureau of Narcotics (CBN), Madhya Pradesh Unit, organised five drug-awareness programmes at educational institutions in Neemuch, Jaora, Jawad, Mandsaur and Garoth during October 2026. The programmes promoted drug prevention, healthy lifestyles and the vision of a “Nasha Mukt Bharat.”

Across the programmes, participants were scientifically briefed on the harmful effects of drug abuse on physical and mental health, education, family life and careers. Activities included awareness sessions, question-and-answer competitions, educational videos, presentations, meditation and poster-making. Participants were encouraged to resist substance abuse, adopt healthy lifestyles and contribute to a Nasha Mukt Bharat.

The programmes also emphasised personal responsibility and collective participation in drug prevention. Participants took pledges to stay away from drugs and support awareness initiatives in their schools, families and communities. The programmes received positive participation and reinforced the importance of preventive education among youth.

Through these four awareness programmes, CBN Madhya Pradesh Unit reaffirmed its commitment to complementing enforcement activities with preventive awareness and demand-reduction initiatives, particularly among students and young people.

By engaging educational institutions and encouraging interactive learning, awareness activities and personal commitments to a drug-free life, CBN seeks to empower youth to make informed choices and become active ambassadors of drug prevention in their communities.
