Traditional sports activities, meanwhile, encouraged physical fitness, healthy lifestyles and community participation.
The Neighbourhood Youth Parliament sessions, titled “Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat Par Paricharcha”, gave young people and community members a platform to discuss the harmful effects of substance abuse. Participants also discussed prevention strategies and the role of youth in building a drug-free society.
