Now, a spirited campaign against substance abuse to salvage reputation of Ernakulam district in Kerala
The Hindu
The Ernakulam district Social Justice Department is set to embark on a month-long intense awareness campaign under the Union Government's Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan
In 2019, a survey held by the Union Ministry of Social Justice bestowed Ernakulam district in Kerala with a dubious distinction of being among the 272 districts in the country afflicted with substance abuse. Every 29 out of the 100 men in the district were found to be using alcohol, which was higher than the national average of 27 out of 100. Ernakulam shared the malaise with five other districts in Kerala — Thiruvananthapuram, Kollam, Idukki, Malappuram, and Kozhikode.
