Launching the campaign, Modi said tackling substance abuse requires collective action from society alongside government initiatives.
He highlighted the role of yoga, meditation, rehabilitation centres and community support in helping people overcome addiction and stressed that preventing young people from falling into drug abuse should remain a national priority.
The Prime Minister also said that those already affected by addiction should receive compassion, guidance and timely support rather than social stigma.
PM Modi Urges Families and Educational Institutions to Act
Modi appealed to families not to conceal cases of substance abuse due to social pressure and instead seek professional medical help at the earliest opportunity.
He also encouraged parents to maintain open communication with children so that concerns can be addressed before they drift towards addiction.
Addressing teachers and professors, the Prime Minister urged educational institutions to make anti-drug awareness an integral part of campus life and inspire students to stay away from narcotics.
