The dawn of 26th June internationally recognized as World Drug Day 2016 became an unforgettable evening for more than 300 youth participants hailing from different institutions, colleges and corporates when they shouted out their commitment aloud towards creating a highly sensitized environment against the abuse of all forms of intoxicating substances and habits be it Facebook, internet, twitter, whatsapp, smoking, alcohol or hard core drugs.

Live Life Drug Free, the mantra echoed in East Delhi

The event was a sheer portrayal of youth for youth streak wherein each activity was planned, executed and monitored by the youth volunteers for the youth participants.  The regional team of Bodh Program worked like a concerted engine and succeeded in well conducting the program with a day & night rigorous effort under the stewardship of His Holiness Ashutosh Maharaj Ji, founder and Head of Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan.

With the aim of creating a drug free world, the drug abuse eradication program [Bodh] organizes such youth based programs on regular basis in more than 14 states of India. The aforementioned program was also a part of a month long running campaign “No Tobacco Month 2016”, under which various awareness programs are being organized by many branches of the organization in the month of June.

With innovative tools and IEC methods like comedy, quiz, activities, demonstrations and motivating speeches, the gathered youth was addressed to ponder over the various reasons that very subtly take an individual into this dark world of drug abuse. Various nuances of the problem of drug abuse which otherwise remain unaddressed most of the time were also brought forth through skit performances and comedy conversations in order to make the congregation realize its severity and depth. Under the bracket of “act on what you know”, the demonstration on how the tar residing in cigarette gets accumulated in one’s lungs and leaving thick patches in the breathing pipe, halts the veins and arteries against blood flow and in longer run causes cancer of various forms was as well enacted upon by our selfless facilitators with detailed description so that one can start applying what one knows [the health hazards due to drug abuse].

The program evidently marked its success with the evidence of signatures marked on the signature board stating a pledge to lead a drug free life. Many participants came forward to join the organization’s initiative and be parts of such sensitizing programs.
