Extensive Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan programmes to be conducted across Telangana: Dattatreya

Hyderabad, Nov 10 (UNI) Former Governor Bandaru Dattatreya on Tuesday announced that extensive programmes would be conducted across Telangana under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan (Drug-Free India Campaign) to combat drug abuse, particularly among students and youth.
A decision to this effect was taken at a meeting jointly organised by the Alai Balai Foundation and V-Net voluntary organisation at Andhra Mahila Sabha Women's College on the Osmania University campus here.
The meeting also decided to constitute a steering committee to plan, implement and monitor the campaign across the state.
Expressing concern over the growing drug menace, Dattatreya said substance abuse, which was initially noticed among students, was spreading to rural areas and affecting young people, their families and society at large.
He stressed the need to move beyond speeches and awareness meetings and take the campaign to the grassroots level.
As part of the initiative, areas and villages severely affected by drug abuse would be identified, and organisers would interact directly with local residents and victims to bring about behavioural change.
He said the organisers would also visit rehabilitation centres and extend guidance and psychological support to those undergoing treatment to overcome addiction.
Andhra Mahila Sabha president and former IAS officer D. Chakrapani, Professor Murali Manohar, Professor Raji Reddy, motivational speaker Akella Raghavendra, Sandeep, Vishwanath and representatives of V-Net participated in the meeting.
