Amit Kumar, IAS, Commissioner, MC Chandigarh contributed sports kits to the ‘Khel Ka Uphaar, Nashe Par Prahar’ campaign, which aims to engage young people in sports and keep them away from drugs. He handed over the kits to campaign convener Sanjeev Rana.

The Commissioner said drug addiction is not merely the problem of an individual or a family but a serious challenge confronting society as a whole. Along with spreading awareness, it is essential to engage young people in sports, education and other constructive activities to protect them from drugs.

He said the ‘Khel Ka Uphaar, Nashe Par Prahar’ campaign is a commendable initiative that provides sporting equipment to underprivileged young people and gives their lives a positive direction.

He said Sports not only make young people physically and mentally stronger but also help develop discipline, self-confidence, leadership abilities and team spirit.

“If every capable person in society takes responsibility for connecting even one underprivileged youngster with sports, we can build a powerful people’s movement against drugs. Every contribution to this campaign is an important step towards safeguarding the life and future of a young person,” Commissioner said.

Campaign convener Sanjeev Rana expressed gratitude to Municipal Commissioner and said the involvement of a senior administrative officer in the campaign sends an inspiring message to society. His support will strengthen the campaign and encourage others to contribute to the collective fight against drugs.

Sanjeev Rana said the ‘Khel Ka Uphaar, Nashe Par Prahar’ initiative is not merely a sports-equipment distribution programme but a people’s campaign aimed at protecting the lives and future of the youth. Through this initiative, sports equipment is being provided to underprivileged young people in slum, rural and border areas to help keep them away from drugs.
