Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will launch the 'Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan' on August 2, 2026, at 11 AM via video conferencing. The initiative aims to inspire youth to avoid substance abuse and become ambassadors of positive social change in their communities.
The launch marks the beginning of a 100-week nationwide Jan Bhagidari campaign against substance abuse, which will organize weekly activities every Sunday across the country. These activities will include sports events, walkathons, meditation sessions, cultural programs, awareness campaigns, nukkad nataks, discussion forums, art competitions, and community engagement programs.
The program will witness participation from youth across the country from over 10,000 locations, including MY Bharat Volunteers, MY Bharat National Service Scheme volunteers, youth clubs, schools, colleges, universities, NGOs, youth wings of industry associations, and more than 125 partner spiritual organizations participating virtually. The initiative seeks to strengthen community participation by bringing together educational institutions, youth organizations, civil society groups, industry bodies, and spiritual organizations on a common platform to create a collective movement against substance abuse.
