Healing Punjab – How Collective Action is Turning the Tide Against Drug Abuse

Healing Punjab – How Collective Action is Turning the Tide Against Drug Abuse

Punjab stands at a crucial crossroads — a land once celebrated for its valor and vitality now faces a growing menace of substance abuse. This silent epidemic is robbing the youth of their dreams and families of peace. The question is no longer who is to blame — but rather, how can we heal together?

Akal Drug De-Addiction Centre – Restoring Hope, Rebuilding Lives

Under the divine guidance of Baba Iqbal Singh Ji, the Akal Drug De-Addiction Centre, Baru Sahib, continues its mission to uplift lives through compassion, discipline, and holistic healing. The Centre doesn’t just treat addiction — it nurtures transformation by blending medical care with spiritual and emotional support, helping individuals reclaim their dignity and purpose.

The Power of Partnership – When Purpose Meets Collaboration

At a recent dialogue hosted at MGSIPA Chandigarh, Dr. (Col) Rajinder Singh, Head of the Akal Drug De-Addiction Centre, emphasized the need for public–private partnerships to tackle addiction at its roots. He highlighted how coordinated efforts between governments, healthcare institutions, NGOs, and corporates can create impactful, long-term change.

True transformation begins when communities, policymakers, and organizations come together — not in blame, but in shared responsibility.

CitiusTech’s CSR Support – Empowering Recovery and Second Chances

A heartfelt acknowledgment goes to CitiusTech for its invaluable CSR partnership with the Akal Drug De-Addiction Centre. This collaboration has strengthened rehabilitation programs, provided access to better care, and supported the Centre’s mission of giving those struggling with addiction a second chance at life.

Through such alliances, the fight against drugs becomes not just a medical effort — but a movement of humanity and hope.

Beyond Treatment – Building Awareness and Mental Health Support

To win this battle, we must focus on more than just recovery. The road to a Drug-Free Punjab requires:

  • Community Awareness: Educating families and youth about the dangers of substance abuse.
  • Mental Health Support: Addressing emotional trauma and depression that often lead to addiction.
  • Policy Strengthening: Encouraging rehabilitation over punishment through compassionate governance.
  • Early Intervention: Identifying and supporting at-risk youth before addiction takes hold.

Together for a Drug-Free Punjab

The spirit of Punjab is unbreakable — and so is its potential for renewal. By coming together in awareness, compassion, and action, we can protect our youth, strengthen families, and rebuild communities.

Let’s stand united to make Drug-Free Punjab not just a dream, but a living reality.
