Event Summary

On August 2, 2026, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the 'Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan' (Drug-Free Youth for Developed India Resolution Campaign) via a nationwide video conference, connecting with over one crore youth from more than 28,000 locations. The campaign, initially piloted in Kashi, has expanded into a national project supported by over 125 spiritual organizations and NGOs under the Kashi Declaration. Modi outlined a 100-week roadmap with weekly activities in art, culture, sports, and meditation to engage youth in anti-drug efforts. He emphasized that a drug-free youth is essential for achieving Viksit Bharat by 2047, warning that addiction weakens families, society, and the nation. The Prime Minister also highlighted government crackdowns on drug dealers and smugglers, including seizures and arrests, and called for societal support for those recovering from addiction.
