THE three-day Youth Spiritual Summit on ‘Drug-free Youth for Developed India’ adopted the Kashi Declaration, expressing commitment to a nationwide campaign for drug-free youth.
On this occasion, Union Minister of Youth and Sports, Mansukh Mandaviya said, “If a nation, where 65 per cent of the population is youth, falls prey to addiction, only those who break free from it will be able to build the future.” Union Minister said, “We have reflected deeply over the last three days across diverse thematic sessions.
Based on this collective chintan, the Kashi Declaration is born, not just as a document, but as a shared sankalp for the Yuva Shakti of Bharat.” Organised by the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports, the Summit brought together more than 600 youth leaders, representatives from over 120 spiritual and socio-cultural organisations, academicians, and domain experts.
The event marked a defining moment in Bharat’s journey toward a drug-free society by 2047. A roadmap has been prepared through the Kashi Sankalp Patra to make the youth drug-free in the construction of a developed India, Mandaviya said.
