The Punjab Governor chaired a meeting with university vice chancellors to assess progress on the 'MY Bharat Yuva Connect – Nasha Mukt Abhiyan', a government initiative aimed at keeping youth drug‑free.
The Governor of Punjab convened a session with the vice chancellors of the state’s universities to review the implementation of the ‘MY Bharat Yuva Connect – Nasha Mukt Abhiyan’. The meeting, held at the Governor’s residence, focused on the outreach activities planned for the upcoming academic year.
The campaign, launched by the state government, seeks to engage students in anti‑drug education through workshops, counseling and peer‑led initiatives. It is part of a broader national effort to curb substance abuse among young people.
During the discussion, the Governor highlighted the need for stronger monitoring mechanisms and urged the universities to report on participation rates and the effectiveness of their interventions. The vice chancellors pledged to intensify collaboration with local NGOs and law‑enforcement agencies.
The next phase will involve a joint assessment of pilot projects in selected campuses, with a final report expected by the end of the quarter. The Governor emphasized that the success of the program hinges on sustained engagement from all stakeholders.
