Overview
UPSC frequently examines major government initiatives aimed at social welfare, public health, and addressing societal challenges. NMBA represents a significant national effort to combat substance abuse, a critical social issue with wide-ranging implications for public health, law and order, and economic productivity. Understanding its objectives, implementation strategy, and impact is crucial for assessing government policy effectiveness in social justice.
The Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan (NMBA) is a flagship campaign launched by the Government of India to address the issue of substance abuse and promote a drug-free society. It operates under the broader National Action Plan for Drug Demand Reduction (NAPDDR).
