Substance use leads to severe social, psychological, and physical issues. To combat this, the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment in collaboration with MyGov launched the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan (NMBA) on 15th August 2020. NMBA coordinates prevention, assessment, treatment, rehabilitation, aftercare, public information dissemination, and community awareness initiatives. Initially targeting 272 vulnerable districts, NMBA has expanded nationwide, reaching over 15.90 crore individuals. Through partnerships, NMBA fosters responsibility, reduces stigma, and promotes acceptance and accountability in substance use prevention.

The Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan Painting Competition – Towards a Drug-Free India was hosted from 13th September 2024 to 11th December 2024 to advocate for NMBA principles, promote cultural preservation, celebrate diversity, promote mental well-being, and foster community empowerment.
