Office of Divisional Commissioner Bhopal and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has been running a project named ‘Navotthan’ which is aimed at creating awareness on the harmful effects of substance abuse. As a part of it, they are inviting suggestions from people on ways substance abuse can be checked.

Substance Abuse is on a rapid increase amongst youngsters. It might sound shocking but nonetheless true; according to a research, Madhya Pradesh is the second state in the country where drug addiction amongst youngsters is the highest. Alcohol and tobacco usage is also not very far behind from the usage of drugs.

Depression, respiratory failure, high blood pressure, weight loss, collapsed vein, nausea, anxiety, psychosis, seizures, damaged liver, kidney and lungs are some of the effects of substance abuse. What needs our attention is, apart from having an adverse effect on our mind and body; youths who inject drugs also become susceptible to HIV and other infections. Sadly, despite being aware of its lethal hazards, many youngsters become a victim to such addiction.

Be it youth from economically weaker background or one from a privileged family, peer pressure is quite likely the primary reason forcing youngsters into consuming such substances. It wouldn’t be wrong to say that consumption of psychoactive substance, along with alcohol and tobacco is becoming a fad and in most cases is looked up as a status symbol. The fear of being looked down upon or not being accepted socially coerces youngsters to fall prey to such substances and then there is no looking back. Other reasons that can be taken into account are lack of confidence, unhappiness and depression, lack of self-control, weak relationships, lack of supervision, etc.

Substance abuse not only affects an individual but also leaves an impact on their family and surroundings. This issue cannot be curbed overnight. There is a dire need to understand its nuances, learn to identify it, tackle it, and thereby solve. Only collective endeavours can help in making the society free of substance abuse.

In consideration of the above mentioned, UNDP is seeking suggestion from people. Share yours at mp.mygov.in.

नशा हमारे जीवन को बर्बाद करता है यह सबको पता है,परन्तु इससे बचने का रास्ता क्या होना चाहिए।समाज नशामुक्ति चाहता है और इसके लिए एकजुटता जरूरी है।नशामुक्ति की एकजुटता के लिए अमीर व्यक्ति कहता है कि उसे जरूरत नहीं, मध्यमवर्गीय को फुर्सत नहीं और गरीब को फुर्सत और जरूरत दोनों है परन्तु उसकी ओकात नहीं।ये हमारे समाज का हाल है।रही बात प्रशासन की तो उनका जवाब नशा करने और बेचने वालो पर कड़ी कार्रवाई की जाएगी,परतू असल में होती नहीं। तो सोचिए हम बिना एकजुटता के एक नशामुक्त समाज केसे बना पाएंगे?

When people first hear the word drug, they think of illicit drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamine. They also think about the user and sometimes why they use. One thing that is overlooked by the public is the treatment programs that are available to drug users. There is a stigma in our society around drug use that is very negative. Many believe that people that do drugs do them just to do them and even if this is true in some cases, no one wakes up one morning and decides

A person who consumes any narcotic substance becomes a dangerous disease.Sometimes even death occurs.Intoxication devastates a family. Therefore, a campaign of drug-free India is being launched to make people aware, so that people become aware and stop taking drugs. This campaign will not be successful until every person of the country will contribute to this campaign.
