The menace of substance use has become a critical problem in contemporary times, stealing the most productive and promising years from young minds. It is essential to foster a supportive environment in educational institutions, families, and communities to eliminate the risks associated with substance use, thereby promoting a culture of overall well-being and development.

An Awareness Campaign to motivate everyone particularly the youth, to take an E-pledge against the menace of drugs has been started by the government. The E-pledge campaign titled "Say Yes to Life, No to Drugs" will be a commendable step towards ensuring a healthy and drug-free environment for our youth and our country. E-Pledge Access
