Neeraj and Manu to Lead Youth Away from Drugs in Haryana

In a bold move to combat drug abuse and promote sports among youth, the Haryana Women's Commission is set to launch a special campaign with some of India's biggest sports stars at the helm. This initiative aims to harness the influence of Olympic athletes to guide young people towards a healthier, more active lifestyle.

The Commission has requested a list of Olympic and Paralympic athletes from the Sports Department, which is expected to be delivered within two days. Among the 20 Olympians slated to become brand ambassadors are household names like Neeraj Chopra, known for his gold medal in javelin throw, and Manu Bhaker, the young shooting sensation.

Other notable athletes mentioned include Navdeep Sheoran and Pranav Soorma, showcasing the diversity of sports talent from Haryana. The final list will be determined after discussions with all the athletes, ensuring their commitment to this important cause. 

A special event is planned for October 20th in Panipat, where these sports icons will be officially introduced as the faces of the campaign. The Haryana Women's Commission is currently in the process of reaching out to these athletes, inviting them to participate in this groundbreaking initiative.

The primary goal of this campaign is twofold: to discourage drug use among the youth and to promote awareness and interest in sports. By leveraging the success and popularity of these Olympic athletes, the Commission hopes to create a powerful message that resonates with young people across the state. 

This initiative represents a unique collaboration between the Women's Commission and the sports community, highlighting the role of athletics in shaping a healthier society. It also underscores Haryana's commitment to nurturing its rich sporting heritage while addressing pressing social issues.

As this campaign unfolds, it has the potential to make a significant impact on the lives of young people in Haryana, offering them inspiring role models and alternatives to drug use. The Haryana Story will continue to follow this developing story, providing updates on the campaign's progress and its effect on the community.
