In his inspiring live address, the Prime Minister emphasised that a drug-free, physically and mentally healthy youth is the strongest foundation for a developed India. He said:
“As the nation has set the goal of Viksit Bharat, it is essential that our youth remain physically and mentally fit, brimming with self-confidence, and permanently free from destructive habits like drugs.” Highlighting that today’s youth are the Amrit Peedhi who will lead India to 2047 and enjoy the fruits of a developed nation, the Prime Minister called upon every young Indian to take a solemn pledge against substance abuse and become ambassadors of positive change in their families, schools, colleges and communities. He announced that the campaign will continue for the next 100 weeks, with dedicated activities every Sunday focusing on sports, walkathons, meditation, spirituality, art, culture, nukkad nataks, discussions and community service to keep the youth productively engaged and drug-free.The programme was organised under the aegis of MY Bharat (Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports) in collaboration with the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Narcotics Control Bureau and more than 125 spiritual and civil society organisations. Millions of MY Bharat volunteers, NSS volunteers, students, youth clubs and partner organisations participated simultaneously, taking the Nasha Mukti Pledge before the Prime Minister’s address.Sufi Islamic Board’s Active Participation and Commitment
As a proud partner spiritual organisation of MY Bharat since 2025, the Sufi Islamic Board joined this historic national movement with full enthusiasm and organisational strength. Under the leadership of National President Shri Mansoor Khan, SIB chapters, state units, youth volunteers and affiliated institutions across India — including Maharashtra, Kerala, Assam, Meghalaya, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka and other regions — organised and participated in local pledge ceremonies, awareness sessions and virtual linkages with the national programme. SIB volunteers facilitated the live screening of the Prime Minister’s address, administered the Nasha Mukti Pledge, and mobilised large numbers of young people from educational institutions, Sufi dargahs, community centres and youth clubs. The Board reaffirmed its long-standing commitment to the Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat mission, which it has been actively advancing through multiple programmes since its formal onboarding with MY Bharat. Previous SIB initiatives under this campaign have included large-scale pledge drives, interfaith conclaves, awareness seminars (including in prisons), and community outreach in partnership with educational institutions and other spiritual organisations.National President Mansoor Khan stated:

“The message of Sufism is love, service and purity of body, mind and soul. Substance abuse destroys the potential of our youth and weakens the nation. We stand firmly with the Hon’ble Prime Minister’s vision of a Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat. Our volunteers across the country will continue to work every Sunday for the next 100 weeks to spread awareness, guide youth towards healthy and spiritual lifestyles, and contribute to building a strong, developed and drug-free India by 2047.
