Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan has been proved as the most important initiative among all other programs of the Ministry. Since, Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan works with the youth, and it is an investment into the future of the country. This initiative is active in almost 272 districts. The implementation of the JOSH Initiative in Delhi by Ladli Foundation, has had a very profound impact, wherein almost 1000+ youth in different slums were successfully brought on the right path. I wholeheartedly congratulate Ladli Foundation, Delhi Police and all the participants for this wonderful initiative. Now this modal is ready to replicate at different location, we are pondering our thoughts on taking this initiative at big reach

I am pleased to acknowledge the invaluable work of Ladli Foundation in collaboration with NISD on the prevention of drug abuse in over 40 slums across Delhi NCR. The Foundation has played a vital role on the ground, implementing effective outreach programs to sensitize both current and potential drug users. Through their consistent efforts, they have raised awareness about the dangers of drug abuse, provided crucial support to affected individuals, and contributed significantly to the overall success of this initiative. Ladli Foundation’s dedication to improving the lives of those at risk reflects their unwavering commitment to social change and community well-being.

Ladli Foundation, in collaboration with Delhi Police, has set a remarkable milestone by implementing the JOSH program to create a drug-free and crime-free India. This impactful initiative has directly transformed the lives of over 1,100 young boys and their families, steering them away from drugs and crime through structured sports training and mentorship. Ladli Foundation’s commitment to uplifting underprivileged youth at the grassroots level is commendable, providing them with life skills and development opportunities essential for crime prevention. By aligning these efforts with the Delhi Police’s YUVA initiative, the program aims to equip these youth with skill development training and employment opportunities, empowering them to become role models for their peers and valuable assets to their families and society.

Ladli Foundation’s work in the south-west district has transformed the lives of over 500 beneficiaries, including around 75% juveniles in conflict with the law. During my visits to field activities, I witnessed the profound impact of their regular interventions. The Foundation’s mental health counselling and motivational sessions fostered positivity and resilience among participants. Their innovative approach of conducting evening activities during dark hours effectively prevented drug abuse and criminal behaviour. Additionally, training, competitions, and recreational activities instilled discipline and a sense of purpose. Ladli Foundation’s commitment to empowering these youth is a powerful example of how targeted interventions can create lasting change and a brighter future.
