Anti-drug awareness programme held
Dharmavaram: As part of the 5th anniversary celebrations of the National and State Action Plan for Prevention of Substance Abuse (2020), mandated by the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, Government of India, Sri Sathya Sai district administration conducted an anti-drug awareness programme at Government Polytechnic College, Dharmavaram on Wednesday. Speaking on the occasion, G Archana, Deputy Director, Department of Welfare of Differently Abled, Transgender and Senior Citizens (Anantapur & Sri Sathya Sai districts), urged the youth to set clear goals and move forward with discipline. She emphasised that since 2020, the State government has been taking determined measures to curb drug abuse and organising awareness drives in coordination with the medical, police and excise departments. Archana warned that possession, sale, storage, or transportation of narcotic substances is a criminal offence, punishable with up to 10 years of imprisonment. She highlighted the devastating impact of drug addiction on young lives, leading to social and economic downfall. Parents, she said, make significant sacrifices to educate their children, and youth should not ruin their future through substance abuse. She informed that those addicted to drugs are referred to the government de-addiction centre at Hindupur District Hospital or private facilities like Swear De-addiction Centre for treatment and counselling. Citizens can report drug-related incidents to the Eagle toll-free helpline 1972. The programme concluded with a pledge administered to students against drug abuse and illegal trafficking under the International Day Against Drug Abuse framework. College Principal, staff, and departmental officials participated in the event.

Community support plays a key role in fighting against drug menace
Visakhapatnam: It was just the second day of her college when Neha (name changed) was offered to snort a powder by her friend and encouraged to check how it feels like. 'As I was told that there's no harm in trying once, I agreed,' Neha confesses. After that, the engineering student could not resist whenever she was offered to snort as she looks forward to it almost daily. 'When my pocket money gets exhausted, I resort to stealing from my dad's wallet,' Neha confesses with a tinge of guilt and helplessness. Although she desperately wants to stay away from drugs, she is unable to do so due to lack of support system to fall upon. At a time when drugs are easily accessible in every nook and corner of Visakhapatnam, how important is it to stick together as a community and battle as an extended family against growing drug menace? As educating students on the drug issue impacting their health, family and social life gains larger significance than ever, its easy accessibility demands effective prevention strategies and enhanced monitoring mechanisms. Unfortunately, it's not just college students who have easy access to drugs. Those studying in schools too are equally vulnerable. Six months back, when two Class VIII students studying in a Zilla Parishad High School got into a violent tiff, the school Principal had to intervene to calm them down. 'I had my own doubts as they were too unruly and abusive for their age. It was only later when I randomly checked their school bags, my doubts got confirmed. They carried drugs along with books. When students belonging to economically weaker sections could access drugs, imagine the plight of those who are from well-to-do families,' the Principal shares with The Hans India on condition of anonymity. Both the boys underwent counselling for a long period with the support of their parents. When both parents work, keeping a tab on the wards' altering behaviour becomes all the more tough. 'I hardly stay at home, while my wife works in a corporate school. When we realised that our son lost his appetite and looked energy-sapped most of the time, it was already late. We had to hospitalise him for a while before shifting to a deaddiction centre. His academic life has gone for a toss because of drug abuse,' laments the father of another student. Emphasising that building awareness among public, youth in particular, should step beyond special occasions such as 'International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking', Visakhapatnam-based substance abuse programme consultant V Surya Prakash Rao, says, 'Intense community-driven programmes should be part of the academic journey at the campuses. Given the magnitude of ganja menace at the moment, community participation in curbing drug menace is essential. As there are several cases that remain unreported for various reasons, intense awareness drives organised at frequent intervals aid in sensitising larger sections of students and nudging them to say 'no' to drugs in the first place itself.' The substance abuse programme consultant opines that school managements should come forward to allot quality time for the community-driven awareness programmes at the campus as the onus to fight against a concerning rise in drug abuse among youngsters lies on parents, teachers and peers. As part of a month-long Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan's campaign, a mass pledge against drug abuse is scheduled in Visakhapatnam on August 13 (Wednesday). Flash mobs, circulation of reels on social media platforms, administration of e-pledge, organisation of seminars and webinars, formation of human chain and plantation programmes form a part of the month-long drive that continues till August 31.

I&B Ministry forms task force to combat rising piracy threat
Synopsis The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has established a task force to combat piracy, which causes an estimated $2.5 billion in annual revenue losses to the media and entertainment industry. This initiative reflects the government's intent to address film leaks promptly. CII is partnering with the ministry to launch anti-piracy challenges and strengthen anti-piracy strategies. TIL Creatives Mumbai: The ministry of information and broadcasting (MIB) has set up a task force to combat piracy, which is estimated to cause an annual revenue loss of $2.5 billion to the media and entertainment business, a top industry executive secretary Sanjay Jaju informed senior members of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) about the setting up of the task force during a meeting on Monday, said Gaurav Banerjee, the recently appointed chairman of CII's National Council on Media and Entertainment."I think it's really urgent and important to tackle piracy. We have also heard from the government that they've set up a task force," said Banerjee, who attended Monday's meeting. "Therefore, there is real intent to ensure that any film that breaks out and gets leaked is brought down urgently and immediately within the first day of the leak," he told to The Rob Report released by EY and the Internet and Mobile Association of India in 2024, India's piracy economy was valued at ₹22,400 crore in 2023, ranking fourth among the segment-wise revenues of the country's media and entertainment sector. The MIB has been working with industry bodies such as the CII on anti-piracy measures. Ahead of the World Audio Visual and Entertainment Summit (WAVES) 2025, the CII partnered with the ministry to launch an anti-piracy challenge. In its now-defunct Broadcasting Bill, the MIB had proposed a dedicated task force to address piracy. Recently, minister of state for information and broadcasting and parliamentary affairs L Murugan informed the Rajya Sabha that an inter-ministerial committee had been formed to strengthen anti-piracy strategies and develop coordinated action outlined two key priorities in his role as chairman of CII's M&E council. The first is to work with the government to create the right framework for scaling up the sector, given its importance to the country's social fabric. The second is to prepare the industry for the impact of artificial intelligence, which he described as highly productive but also requiring safeguards for talent, livelihoods and consumer called for a balanced regulatory regime across television and OTT platforms to support the storytelling capabilities of the creative industry, which he said can deliver both economic and cultural value domestically and stressed on the importance of skilling talent through institutes of creative excellence, such as the recently launched Indian Institute of Creative Technologies. While the M&E industry currently contributes less than 1% to India's GDP, he said there is no reason this share cannot grow through public-private partnerships."So, the big movement in this country will come from a combination of streaming, television, and cinema. I think we have a lot of headroom for growth, along with opportunities in emerging areas such as gaming, where a large user base already exists," he said.
