Governor Shri Mangubhai Patel participated in a local event in Bhopal on Sunday, marking the virtual launch of the 'Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan' by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi.

In his address to the gathering, Governor Patel highlighted that the success of the Nasha-Mukt Bharat Abhiyan depends on active participation from every individual, family, community, and section of society. He urged people to uphold their pledge against substance abuse throughout the year, stating that if 10 crore individuals help make one family each drug-free, nearly 50 crore people across the country could become free from addiction.

He stressed that it is society's collective responsibility to protect children from the harmful effects of substance abuse and encourage every household to remain addiction-free.
Minister for Social Justice and Empowerment of Persons with Disabilities, Horticulture and Food Processing Shri Narayan Singh Kushwah expressed concern over the growing impact of substance abuse among the younger generation. He emphasized that the goal of a drug-free India must become a mass movement.
