Position Paper

Delegate of India
United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC)
Agenda: Preventing Drug Abuse in the Education System

Drug abuse among students compromises education and youth development, with the
spread of synthetic substances and online drug markets intensifying the crisis. India, home
to over 250 million students, faces this challenge directly but remains steadfast to combat it
through a balanced approach of compassionate enforcement, education, and rehabilitation.

India’s National Action Plan for Drug Demand Reduction (NAPDDR) highlights a robust
framework for prevention and recovery, including school-based awareness campaigns,
community outreach, and accessible rehabilitation services. The Nasha Mukt Bharat
Abhiyaan has already reached millions, raising awareness and fostering resilience among
youth. Building on these efforts, India proposes:

● Curriculum tailored to age groups, focusing on synthetic drugs and the risks of online
drug markets
● Accessible facilities near educational institutions to provide recovery support without
disrupting studies
● Technology to track online drug transactions and disrupt trafficking networks

Internationally, India advocates for stronger collaboration through intelligence-sharing and


capacity-building initiatives under UNODC’s guidance. India also proposes an international
fund to support developing nations in creating rehabilitation infrastructure and combating the
digital drug trade.

By combining enforcement with empathy and national policies with global action, India seeks
to foster safe educational environments and contribute to the Sustainable Development
Goals, reinforcing its commitment to a healthier, drug-free future for the world’s youth.
