AMMA has appealed everyone to take active part in the Drug Free India campaigns, to adopt a healthy life style, and to shun substance abuse.

As you are all aware, the menace of drugs is spreading rapidly in India, especially amongst the Indian youth.

This is the time when all of us (irrespective of age, gender, religion etc.) need to come together as one positive force and fight against this menace.

In order to spread awareness on this issue, the change has to begin with all of us first.

We request all of you to show your support for this noble cause by taking three simple steps for online pledge.

Please encourage your friends and family also to do this.

Let us create a positive ripple effect by taking Nasha Mukt Pledge.
