Workshops on “Awareness and Prevention of Drug Addiction” – 2018

Workshops on “Awareness and Prevention of Drug Addiction” sponsored by National Institute of Social Defence (NISD), Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment  held from November 2017 to January 2018.

Substance abuse is the harmful pattern of using substances—such as tobacco, alcohol, illicit drugs, and prescription drugs—leading to impairment or distress. This problematic pattern of substance use among youth can lead to problems at college, cause or aggravate physical and mental health-related issues, promote poor peer relationships, cause vehicle accidents, and place stress on the family. They can also develop into lifelong issues such as substance dependence, chronic health problems with social and financial consequences.

AIWEFA organised these workshops to create awareness among the student community to prevent them from falling into the clutches of the drug menace.The workshops focus on youth towards the promotion of their health and tools to choose the right path; to encourage platforms for social interaction among young and old; and provide long-term perspectives towards preventing drug abuse under the ambit of the Indian legal system. On your well being rests the security of our nation; your present shapes India’s future; so be safe, keep out of harm’s way and make others secure from the danger.
