Chandigarh: In a significant step towards eradicating drug abuse and safeguarding the future of the youth, the Punjab governor and administrator of the UT, Gulab Chand Kataria, flagged off a state-level week-long campaign titled 'VADA' (victory against drug abuse). This initiative, aimed at fostering a drug-free society, was inaugurated with a special ceremony held at PM SHRI GMSSS, Dhanas, where a 'wish tree' was installed on the campus.

The campaign represents a joint effort by govt bodies, educational institutions, and community organisations to tackle the growing menace of drug abuse among the youth. By focusing on prevention, education, and rehabilitation, the initiative seeks to empower young individuals to make informed choices and lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.

In a poignant gesture, Kataria posted a heartfelt wish for a drug-free Chandigarh on the 'wish tree', a symbolic installation that serves as a reminder of the collective aspirations for a healthier community. The tree, adorned with wishes from students, teachers, and community leaders, stands as a beacon of hope and commitment to the cause.
The campaign will encompass a series of activities designed to engage and educate the youth, including slogan writing/poster making competitions, 'adopt a tree', and talks by experts. Kataria emphasised the importance of collective action, stating, "The fight against drugs is not just the responsibility of the govt but of every individual in our society. Let us unite to create a safer, drug-free environment for our youth."
The administrator visited the school premises and commended the mural wall made by the students under the able guidance of the faculty. Thereafter, Kataria visited the integrated room where the students with special needs are given special education under the inclusive education of NEP 2020, aiming to create a system where all learners, regardless of their background, abilities, or disabilities, have equal access to quality education. The administrator was praiseworthy of the midday meal prepared in the cluster kitchen of the school.
