SAMBA: As part of the ongoing Sewa Parv 2025, multiple awareness activities were conducted across District Samba to promote the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan. An awareness camp was organized at Panchayat Ghar Abtal, where participants attended informative sessions on the ill-effects of substance abuse. The camp also included a pledge-taking ceremony, encouraging community members to actively commit to a drug-free lifestyle.

In addition, IEC campaigns were conducted at Tarore Panchayat, Rehian, Block Ramgarh and Gurwal, sensitizing the public on the importance of a drug-free society and creating awareness about government initiatives to combat substance abuse. These activities under Sewa Parv 2025 reflect the district administration’s commitment to fostering responsible citizenship and empowering communities to lead healthy, substance-free lives.
