Vice president launches anti-drug campaign in Delhi University

Cautioning against drug abuse, Vice President C P Radhakrishnan, who is also Chancellor of Delhi University, said on Tuesday that drug-free youth easily acquire skills, promote entrepreneurship, and strengthen the nation by contributing to the country's economic progress.

He made this statement while launching the drug, free campus campaign started by Delhi University. The only goal of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, according to the Vice President, is to make India the world's biggest economy by 2047, which can only be achieved by the youth's efforts.

The Vice President has also pointed out that drug trafficking is one of the main sources of money for narco, terrorism. This business brings great profits, but it seriously harms the society and the whole of humanity. Therefore, we all must stand against it.

In his address, he said Donald Trump is the first US president who has raised his voice against the world's drug mafia. "I appreciate his efforts, because like our Prime Minister, he is one of the major leaders who have come forward against drugs,' the Vice President said. He said drug-free youth are not only essential for personal and economic development but also for the prosperity and stability of our country.

According to Radhakrishnan, this campaign will not only make our campus drug free but the entire country as well. Radhakrishnan remarked that universities are not just spots for doing academics; they are locations where personality gets developed.

Drugs are not freedom or rebellion, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who was present at the event as a special guest, said on that occasion. He also elaborated that drug addiction is not cool at all.
