An important awareness program was held on Wednesday in the Sirari block of Sheikhpura district as part of the campaign to make Bihar drug-free. More than 200 women pledged to stay away from intoxication during this event. The program was jointly organized by Jeevika and Prajapita Brahmakumari Ishwariya Vishwa Vidyalaya, with active participation from Jeevika Didis, cluster federation cadres, and self-help group members.

The event began with the lighting of lamps by Jeevika Didis, Brahmakumari sisters, and the block project manager. This was followed by an extensive discussion on the importance of de-addiction. The Brahmakumari sisters explained that intoxication not only negatively impacts an individual's physical and mental health but also severely affects family peace and social prestige. They also shared information about the role and benefits of Rajyoga meditation in quitting addiction.

Following the discussion, a large awareness rally was conducted through the main market, various villages, and localities of Sirari block. Jeevika Didis carried placards with de-addiction messages during the rally, appealing to people to quit addiction themselves and inspire others to do the same. The Jeevika Didis resolved to raise awareness about de-addiction in every family through their village organizations and self-help groups.

At the conclusion of the program, over 200 women and other villagers took an oath to keep themselves, their families, and society free from all forms of intoxication. They also pledged to make Bihar drug-free, healthy, and happy, which will further strengthen the ongoing campaign against substance abuse in the state.
