On a larger scale, the 1985 Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act is India’s main legal tool in the fight against drug abuse and trafficking. This law imposes harsh punishments, such as life in jail or capital punishment for serious crimes, and also advocates for helping individuals with addiction issues.
The main organization responsible for implementing the NDPS Act is the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB), collaborating with other authorities to tackle illicit drug operations.
CBSE is considering the option of establishing a formal agreement with NCB to expand drug education initiatives to all schools affiliated with CBSE. CBSE Secretary Himanshu Gupta, NCB DDG Neeraj Kumar Gupta, NCB Additional Director N Mrinal, and Modern School Principal Vibha Khosla, along with other respected individuals, were present at the event.
