Substance use leads to severe social, psychological, and physical issues. To combat this, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment launched the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan (NMBA) on 15th August 2020. NMBA coordinates prevention, assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, aftercare, public information dissemination, and community awareness initiatives. Initially targeting 272 vulnerable districts, NMBA has expanded nationwide, reaching over 11.20 crore individuals. Through partnerships, NMBA fosters responsibility, reduces stigma, and promotes acceptance and accountability in substance use prevention.
Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment in collaboration with MyGov is hosting NASHA MUKT BHARAT ABHIYAAN STORIES OF CHANGE CONTEST, invites participants to submit recovery stories.
