Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced on September 6, 2026, that the Narendra Modi government has developed a roadmap to achieve a drug-free India by 2029. Shah emphasized that a drug-free youth population would contribute to the goal of a Viksit Bharat (Developed India) by 2047. The Center adopted a nationwide strategy to dismantle the narcotics network, from trafficking to financing, while focusing on rehabilitation.
Shah stated that drug-free youth power would lead to Viksit Bharat in 2047. The government introduced a three-year roadmap based on a four-pillared approach: intelligence and operations, control on synthetic drugs, demand and harm reduction, and capacity and coordination. The Centre aims to dismantle 100 national and international drug networks by March 2029 and bring back 100 fugitives.
By March 2027, there will be end-to-end visibility of the narcotics supply chain, and at least 75 secret laboratories will be destroyed in 2026. The government also linked awareness, treatment, counselling, rehabilitation, and livelihood opportunities with the anti-narcotics campaign.
