The SANKALP Anti-Drug Society is work in progress. Drawing upon my years in police, narcotics bureau and sports and youth affairs department, I am proposing an action plan that will have visible impact on the ground - jailed smugglers, cleared suspected/reported drug dens, hospitals with de-addiction facilities and sports and cultural infrastructure offering organised physical and cultural activities as anti-dote to drug.

Sometime ago, the centre urged the states to adopt PRAGATI dashboard model for social sector. Haryana has taken the lead by setting up SANKALP mechanism to put all twelve departments - their secretaries and directors- on one table and nudge them to act in a coordinated way towards the shared outcome of prevention, enforcement and treatment of drugs. The initiative aims to align a vertical government (department-limited) to a horizontal (inter-departmental) problem. May like to read my article on the subject below: #WarAgainstDrugs #DrugFreeIndia

Britain built India's administration with young recruits to rule it, and never tried it at home. Western democracies front-load their public services with the experienced. India's accident is a resource. It has never been used on purpose. Read my article 👇
