In this respect, an Abhiyan or a sustained campaign throughout the country is definitely having its contribution in discouraging drugs consumption especially among the youth. This campaign having been launched in 10 ”affected” districts in Jammu and Kashmir – 6 in Kashmir and 4 in Jammu divisions approaching 49 lakh people and nearly a lakh youth is not an ordinary assignment undertaken by the concerned UT department. The reported quite satisfactory performance has been appraised earning UT of Jammu and Kashmir a second position in successfully implementing Nasha Mukt Abhiyan. A few days ago, Union Home Minister and the UT Lieutenant Governor awarded the Social Welfare Department for the good work done in Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan.
