In a world where young minds are constantly bombarded by external pressures, emotional turbulence, and misleading social influences, the need for early and effective intervention has never been more critical. Recognizing this urgency, Divya Jyoti Jagrati Sansthan (DJJS) has stepped forward with a mission to equip children and adolescents with the inner strength and clarity needed to navigate modern-day challenges. With a sharp focus on addiction prevention and value-based decision-making, DJJS launched a powerful awareness campaign across Ghaziabad, reaching the heart of vulnerable age groups through transformative education, spiritual insight, and hands-on learning experiences.
To address the growing vulnerability of students and pre-teens to substance abuse and poor decision-making caused by peer pressure, emotional instability, and social distractions, DJJS, under its flagship initiative Bodh, launched a targeted awareness campaign titled “Sankalp.” In collaboration with its youth wing YPSS, DJJS Ghaziabad conducted 16 impactful sessions between 22nd April and 29th June 2025, covering numerous schools and community centers across Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh. A total of 1,593 students and youth benefitted from this powerful intervention, aimed at strengthening moral clarity and emotional resilience.

The sessions were thoughtfully designed and facilitated by Sadhvi Megha Bharti Ji, preacher at DJJS Ghaziabad, with support from dedicated volunteers Vrinda Singhal and Kirti Sharma. Each workshop offered a hands-on, practical learning environment, tailored for school-aged participants.
Engaging tools such as the Glass & Ball Demo, Jar Ball Game, Glass Holding Balance, and Human Chain Exercise were used to simplify and illustrate key emotional and psychological concepts. Students learned vital life skills such as stress management, resisting peer pressure, making conscious choices, and adopting purpose-driven lifestyles. Role-playing, “Choose the Chit” games, interactive skits, and quiz rounds brought energy and retention value to each session.
Principals, teachers, and school staff were actively involved in the sessions. Educators praised the clarity, creativity, and culturally relevant approach of the campaign. They stressed the importance of such value-based programs and urged for their regular inclusion in academic calendars to help students reflect, engage, and grow.
The campaign received extensive coverage in local newspapers and digital media, with special recognition for DJJS’s innovative integration of spiritual wisdom and cognitive science. Media stories underscored the timeliness and urgency of such interventions, especially given the rise of mental health issues and substance exposure among youth.
Each session concluded with a powerful anti-addiction pledge. Students, educators, and facilitators stood together to commit to a drug-free, emotionally intelligent, and consciously aware lifestyle—promoting not only personal well-being but also social responsibility.
