Youth play a crucial role in driving the Nation\u2019s dreams forward. He urged the students not to see education only as a path to a career, but as a means for social change, innovation and service towards the\u00a0 Nation. He encouraged them to develop leadership qualities along with discipline in one&#8217;s life. Governor stated that\u00a0 India was currently the world\u2019s fourth-largest economy and was on track to overtake Germany by next year to become the third-largest. The rapid growth of start-ups, the digital revolution, advancements in space research and the expansion of infrastructure were all the outcomes and efforts of the youth.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">While emphasising the drug de-addiction, he said that drugs harm not only individuals but also their families, society and the progress of the nation. Governor said there is a deliberate attempt to trap youth in synthetic drugs, and society must come together to stop this. A developed, strong and drug-free India is possible only when youth are aware, disciplined and dedicated. He urged youth to believe in their abilities, use their energy positively, stay away from drugs and help others stay away from them as well.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-7774\" src=\"https:\/\/theeaglenews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG-20251120-WA0037-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theeaglenews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG-20251120-WA0037-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/theeaglenews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG-20251120-WA0037-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theeaglenews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG-20251120-WA0037-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/theeaglenews.co.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/IMG-20251120-WA0037.jpg 1032w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">The Governor said that &#8220;we must adopt a policy of zero tolerance against drugs.

Governor asserted that inspired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he launched the Drug-Free Himachal campaign, which started from higher educational institutions and has now reached the panchayat level.
