India’s Battle with Drug Abuse

Caught in the Middle: India’s Battle with Drug Abuse

Hi Readers!

As a citizen of India, we should know that our country is situated between the drug-producing regions known as the Golden Triangle and the Golden Crescent and we find ourselves grappling with a significant drug abuse problem. This article aims to throw light on the challenges India faces in combating drug abuse.

But as reader a question is arising in your mind that why suddenly we are taking about the drug abuse?

Well reader, today is June 26th, every year on this date the globe come on one platform to observe the International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. This day gives us, as a reminder of the menacing global issue of substance abuse and illegal drug abuse. In the Indian context, the fight against drug abuse and illicit trafficking is a huge challenge that requires a 360-degree approach.

Magnitude of the Problem: Drug abuse has emerged as a major public health issue in India. According to reports, there are approximately 8-10 million drug addicts in the country and this number continues to rise. The problem is not limited to a any specific region, demographic or religion. It affects individuals from various age groups, socio-economic backgrounds and geographical locations.

The Golden Triangle and Golden Crescent

The Golden Triangle is the region include parts of Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand known for the cultivation and production of illicit drugs, particularly opium. The Golden Crescent, on the other hand, consists of Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan, and is renowned for its opium poppy cultivation, heroin production, and drug trafficking routes. Golden Triangle and the Golden Crescent gave a serious blow to India as the inflow of illicit drugs take place though these routes. Smugglers and traffickers take advantage of porous borders and transportation networks to transport drugs through India to domestic and international markets. The drug abuse problem fueled by the Golden Triangle and Golden Crescent has far-reaching consequences for Indian society

Youth vulnerability: India’s large youth population is particularly vulnerable to drug abuse. Factors such as peer pressure, lack of awareness, unemployment and curious mind of youngsters forced them to experimenting with drugs, putting their physical and mental health on a grave risk.

India finds itself sandwiched between the drug-producing regions of the Golden Triangle and the Golden Crescent, resulting in an increasing drug abuse problem within its land. The proximity to these regions poses unique challenges in terms of drug availability, accessibility and transit. However Indian government, in collaboration with law enforcement agencies, healthcare providers, and NGOs is actively working to fight the menace of drug abuse.

The drug abuse problem in India poses significant challenges to public health, societal well-being and the country’s overall development. Addressing this issue requires a multi-faceted approach that combines strict law enforcement, prevention initiatives, treatment services and community engagement. By fostering collaboration, raising public awareness especially among youth and investing in right education to youth at right time, India can work towards mitigating the impact of drug abuse and creating a healthier, drug-free society for its beloved citizens.

World Consumer Rights Day

HEY READERS, DO YOU KNOW WHEN THE CONSUMER RIGHTS DAY ARE CELEBRATED AROUND THE WORLD & ABOUT YOUR RIGHTS AS A COUNSUMER?

OK, THEN IN JUST NEXT FEW MINUTES YOU WILL GET TO KNOW ABOUT CONSUMER RIGHTS DAY AND YOUR RIGHTS AS A GLOBAL CONSUMER.

The definition of Consumer right is “the right to have information about the quality, potency, quantity, purity, price and standard of goods or services” which the consumer is buying. More often than not, it is observed that consumers are not aware of their rights.

World Consumer Rights Day is mark on 15 march every year as a ray of hope for raising global awareness about consumer rights. Celebrating this day provides us an opportunity to demand that the rights of all consumers are respected and protected against injustices. The consumer movement first marked that date in 1983 and now uses the day every year to mobilize people around the globe on important issues and campaigns which are related to consumer rights in one way or another.

This day act as epitome for the power of consumers and their rights for a fair, safe and sustainable marketplace for everyone. The main objective of this day is to create awareness and knowledge on various consumer rights issues and gave consumers a platform to raise their hand against any malicious activities. As consumers, we need to be aware of our rights and act consciously keeping the same in mind.

ISLAM AND CONSUMER RIGHTS: Our Deen is always very cautious about Protecting consumers from any malpractices. Qur’an and Hadith have a very simple and strong structure of consumer protection. This guidance was given some about 1,400 years ago which are as valid even today in 21st century. In the holy Qur’an Surah Mutaffifin prohibits all kinds of mischiefs by traders including misrepresentation, adulteration and fraudulent products collectively called as ‘Tatfeef’: “Woe to those that deal in fraud; those who when they take a measure from people, take in full. But when they have to give by measure or weight to them, give less than due.” (Qur’an, 83: 1-3)

Islam strictly gave responsibility to seller to disclose any defect or shortcoming in the transaction and to provide the consumer the judicious information, so that one can take an informed decision.

As an Indian consumer you have some Consumer Rights under the Consumer Protection Act like:

Right to Information
Right to Choose
Right to be Heard or Right to Representation
Right to Seek Redressal
Right to Consumer Education
Right to Safety

I hope now after reading this you have become a well aware consumer and next time whenever you go for any shopping just keep your rights in mind, so that they can make you an empowered consumer.

World Thinking Day

World Thinking Day is celebrated on 22nd February annually. This day is all about developing sisterhood and empowering the Girl Scouts around the globe. It is crucial for fostering among young people a sense of global awareness and to encourage them for community service and environmental stewardship. The primary goal of this day is to provide a forum for all women and girls to freely express their thoughts and participate in discussions about priority issues and offer global solutions.

How the world celebrates this day: World Thinking Day remains one of the most important dates in the calendar and every year the theme of the event encourages members to think on various evils that affects the society especially the girls. The theme of this year 2023 is “Our World, Our Peaceful Future: The Environment, Peace, and Security.”

History: It is a celebration of ten million girls worldwide that has taken place on every 22 February since 1926. The name was changed from “Thinking Day” to “World Thinking Day” in 1999 at the 30th World Conference held in Ireland to truly understand the universal nature of this day. The tremendous amount of efforts and hard work put forth by girl scouts and girl guides around the world is the reason why World Thinking Day has become such a worldwide celebrated event around the world.

If we talk about Today’s scenario girls are facing many issues around the world like:

Violence against women and girls
Gender pays gap & digital gender divide
Period stigma
Underrepresentation as leaders
Gender discrimination
Sexual abuse and harassment
Girls Education

Girls’ education and impact on society: Educating a girl in present can be a miracle in future for the society. Higher education among girls helps to reduce crime rates as these girls are going to be the first teachers for kids in future. Education empowers marginalized women and helps them build better futures for themselves and their families. When a country invests in girls’ education than it transforms that country from a common nation to a prosperous nation.

It contributes to more stable society that give all individuals including boys and men the opportunity to fulfil their potential. But educating a girl is more than just to send them to schools. In reality it is about providing girls a safe environment in classrooms and in society. It is about allowing them to choose the subjects and careers they want to pursue for themselves including those in which they are often under represented like STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) careers options.

MSians pay visit to Old Age Home

Hyderabad: As part of their philanthropic service, SSC appearing students of MS paid visits to Aramghar Old Age Home at Shivrampally this week and spent some fruitful time with the boarders. Students went there in small batches and took some goodies with them for distribution. Through this small act, MSians tried to bring cheers on the face of these old abandoned people for a day.

During this visit, students interacted with some of the dwellers and patiently listened to their stories. They also saw the living conditions of these people and felt their pain and agony. Seeing the pathetic situation and loneliness of the boarders, the students got emotional. Their stories made them wept, and some of the students cried.

The objective of this visit is to inculcate empathy among the students and teach them the passion for rendering service to humanity. For the past few years, students appearing to SSC examination pay a visit to old age home before the commencement of their SSC examination. They also take their blessings.

Such visits make students more god-fearing and inclined towards Allah (SWT). They realise the blessings of Allah (SWT) and become thankful to Almighty Allah (SWT). The management secured permission for these visits and provided all the logistics.
