Additionally, free online coaching classes will be provided for those preparing for various competitive examinations.\n\nThe Prime Minister also announced a nationwide campaign, Nasha Mukt Yuva Abhiyan, aimed at creating a drug-free India, stressing that combatting drug addiction should be a collective responsibility of society.\n\nAddressing drug addiction as a significant challenge for the country, Modi urged volunteers, NGOs, social and cultural organisations, and spiritual leaders to join the 100-week campaign. He emphasized that India should aim to participate in at least three-fourths of the Olympics events by 2036, calling it a talent hunt to identify children aged 5 to 15 across the country.",
