Drug-Free Youth for a Strong Nation – Awareness Program Held in Balasore

Date: 5 February 2026 An awareness program was organized with the objective of making students aware of the ill effects of drug addiction and motivating them to adopt a healthy and positive lifestyle. The program began with a prayer and a welcome song, creating a peaceful and positive atmosphere. During the program, Sisters of Brahma Kumari Sansthan addressed the students and explained that drug addiction not only weakens the body but also affects mental strength and social life. They shared that true success and happiness in life are possible only when one lives a drug-free, disciplined, and value-based life. Through simple and motivational examples, students were encouraged to recognize their inner potential and make right choices in life. A question-and-answer session was also organized, in which students actively participated and shared their thoughts. Inspired by the session, many students took an oath to stay away from drugs and to help others remain free from addiction. The Principal of the school appreciated this meaningful initiative and said that it is not only our responsibility to stay away from addiction ourselves, but also to make others aware of its harmful effects. The main objective of the program was to make young people aware of their inner potential, protect them from the dangerous trap of drug addiction, and help them understand their important role in nation-building. The program proved to be highly inspiring and beneficial for the students, guiding them towards a healthy, responsible, and positive way of life.
