The Jammu and Kashmir government has appointed 20 officers as District Mentors to strengthen the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan, the nationwide campaign against drug abuse. The mentors will coordinate awareness programs, monitor district-level initiatives, and support rehabilitation measures.
Officials stated that the appointed mentors will act as nodal officers to ensure effective implementation of the campaign across all districts. Their role includes engaging with schools, colleges, and community organizations to spread awareness about the harmful effects of substance abuse.
The initiative is part of the government’s broader strategy to curb drug addiction, particularly among youth, and to promote healthy lifestyles. By appointing dedicated District Mentors, authorities aim to intensify grassroots-level efforts and ensure better coordination between departments and civil society.
The move reflects Jammu and Kashmir’s commitment to the national mission of creating a drug-free society under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan.
