Drugs-free youth crucial for developed India: PM Modi, launches 'Nasha Mukt Yuva' campaign

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday asked the country's youth to take a pledge against substance abuse, saying drugs can give them a "high" for some time, but would make their entire career and personal life "low". Launching the 'Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Sankalp Abhiyan', PM Modi said the country's youth must be mentally and physically fit, for which it is necessary for them to stay away from all kinds of substance abuse. He also said that enemy countries use the supply of drugs as part of their terror plans because they know that "youth are the future of our country". "Drugs can give you a high for some time, but it makes your entire career and personal life low," he said.
