During January 2006 some of the community volunteers and members felt for the need of educating youth and parents about the escalating trend in Substance abuse. A number of meetings, open forms and focus groups consultations were conducted for the suggestions & recommendations.After various ideas and strategies, it was decided to implement an action plan that would have sustainable effects on the Drugs Awareness and Prevention.
