ITANAGAR: Arunachal Pradesh Governor Lt Gen K T Parnaik on Friday emphasised a healthy family environment at home as a first and foremost step towards a nasha mukt society.

Launching the state-level 'Nasha Mukt Bharat-Nasha Mukt Arunachal Abhiyan', at Dera Natung government college here, the governor said that a good upbringing of a child would never give a chance to stray and pick up bad habits. Stating that the state government is committed to a drug-free society with the Arunachal Pradesh Psychoactive Substance Policy 2021 in place, Parnaik underscored the involvement of society as a whole to assist those going into addiction. He appealed to the people not to neglect even one individual and to help the person get rid of the bad habit. The governor said drug addiction is a serious issue, called for strong action against drug peddlers and suppliers, and suggested using technology to track peddlers and drug suppliers. "With real-time tracking, we can keep an eye on and eradicate the drug menace from our society," he said.

The launch of the campaign marked the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Dera Natung College and Rajyoga Education & Research Foundation, Brahma Kumaris, Itanagar. "Nasha Mukt Bharat-Nasha Mukt Arunachal Abhiyan is not just a campaign but a commitment to the wellbeing of the people. By tackling the root cause of drug abuse, raising awareness, and providing support, it aspires to pave the way for a brighter, healthier future for the state and the nation," the governor pointed out. Parnaik commended the Brahma Kumaris and authority of Dera Natung College for signing the MoU, said that it is a challenging task, and expressed hope that the endeavour would bring good results and go a long way in fortifying a promising future for the youth of the state.
