At HSNC University’s Nasha Mukt Bharat programme, students gathered in a packed auditorium to take a collective pledge against drug abuse. The event, organized jointly by HSNC University and Lok Bhavan, Maharashtra, also saw the launch of NoToDrugs.in portal by Governor Shri Jishnu Dev Varma.
Governor Varma addressed the students, touching on the origins of addiction and the pressures faced by young people. He shared his own experience of resisting a tobacco offer and advised students to consider the consequences before succumbing to peer pressure. Governor Varma urged the students to speak up and say "NO!" when faced with drug offers.
He emphasized the role of society in preventing drug demand and supporting rehabilitation, urging students to recognize that addiction affects not only individuals but their families, friends and communities. Governor Varma challenged the notion of treating addiction as someone else's problem and stressed that reaching out to someone struggling with substance abuse is a form of help.
The Governor also launched the NoToDrugs.in portal, providing a platform to spread the message of a drug-free India beyond the event and into everyday spaces. The programme concluded with a walkathon and human chain at Oval Maidan, marking HSNC University's continued efforts in fostering a Nasha Mukt Bharat.
