Under the Targeted Fund Program of Nijgadh Municipality, a two-day awareness program on drug abuse was successfully conducted by Mechi Mahakali Buhari Sanyukt Aawaj, Bara. The program was inaugurated on 7th Ashar, 2082 B.S., with a symbolic watering of a plant pot by Mayor Mr. Surath Puri, in the special presence of Ward No. 7 Chairperson Mr. Tek Bahadur Lama. The closing ceremony took place on 8th Ashar under the chief guestship of Ward No. 8 Chairperson Mr. Swarna Lama.

The main trainer of the program was Police Inspector Mr. Jeevan Lamichhane from the Area Police Office, Nijgadh, who provided students with valuable insights on the risks of drug abuse, legal implications, social impacts, and health-related consequences. He was accompanied by Assistant Sub-Inspector Mr. Khadga Bahadur Khadka, who also conducted a training session. The budget for the event was allocated by executive committee member Ms. Manmaya Tamang.

Speaking at the event, district coordinator of Buhari Aawaj, Bara, Ms. Chandrika Magar emphasized the continuous need for such awareness programs to bring social transformation and instill positive thinking among youth. She also reaffirmed the organization’s commitment to remaining actively involved in the fight against drug abuse.

The program was graced by Ward No. 8 Chairperson Ms. Mina Chaurel, executive member Ms. Sharmila BK, other members, representatives of Buhari Aawaj, Bara, teachers, guardians, and various local stakeholders. According to Secretary Ms. Usha Lama Moktan, around 175 students from different schools in the Nijgadh area actively participated in the two-day program.

This successful event is believed to have effectively spread awareness about the impacts of drug abuse and its prevention among students, parents, and the local community.

With the belief that real transformation of women cannot happen until rural women are empowered to represent themselves in the socio-political process, this campaign-based organization was founded and has now expanded to more than 50 districts. Aimed at reaching women who have been distanced from opportunities due to traditional family structures and responsibilities confined within the household, this organization works to instill self-confidence in daughters-in-law, making them aware that they too can contribute to the nation’s prosperity. Through dedicated service initiatives in various parts of the country, especially in marginalized conditions, the organization has quickly gained a place in people’s hearts.
