Mann Ki Baat: PM Modi urges nationwide use of MANAS helpline to eradicate drug abuse

New Delhi, Jul 28: In his 112th 'Mann Ki Baat' address on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi focused on the pressing issue of drug abuse in India, outlining the government's proactive measures to combat this growing menace.

Addressing concerns about the dangers of drug addiction, PM Modi stated, "My dear countrymen, in 'Mann Ki Baat,' I have often discussed with you the challenge of the drug menace. Every family is worried that their child might get caught in the grip of drugs."

PM Modi highlighted several government initiatives, including the establishment of specialised Manas centres, designed to address and mitigate the challenges posed by substance abuse. 

The government recently introduced the first-ever national toll-free narcotics helpline, MANAS (Madak Padarth Nisedh Asuchna Kendra), which aims to provide crucial support and information.

"To help such people, the government has opened a special centre named 'Manas'. This is a very big step in the fight against drug abuse. A few days ago, the Helpline and Portal of 'Manas' was launched. The government has issued a toll-free number '1933'," the Prime Minister announced.

The MANAS helpline serves as a vital resource for individuals seeking advice or information related to rehabilitation. It also offers a platform for reporting drug-related issues to the Narcotics Control Bureau, with a promise of confidentiality for all shared information.

Prime Minister Modi urged the entire nation—including families, individuals, and organizations committed to fighting drug abuse—to make full use of the MANAS helpline. He stressed the critical role of collective effort in "making India a drug-free society," encouraging everyone to leverage the resources offered by this initiative.
