The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), in collaboration with MyGov, invites suggestions on the draft Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) on the “Prevention & Response Framework for Drugs & Substance Use among Children.”
The SOP is being developed by NCPCR in accordance with the Joint Action Plan on Prevention of Drugs and Substance Abuse among Children and Illicit Trafficking, 2021.
The proposed Framework will incorporate inputs received from various stakeholders, emerging best practices, recent research, and relevant recommendations contained in the NCORD Vision Document.
The Framework aims to provide a comprehensive and child-centric approach for the prevention, early identification, response, treatment, rehabilitation, and reintegration of children affected by drug and substance use and illicit trafficking.
Through this initiative, NCPCR seeks valuable suggestions from stakeholders and citizens to strengthen the proposed Framework and ensure a coordinated, effective, and rights-based response to address drug and substance use among children.

I think it's not a problem of getting drugs to the children but it's all about getting drugs in India we all knew that it's illigal,still people can get that easily if they have money then they can buy that ......but in India 75% people are poor and who those are middle class can't afford that drugs ..... But what about cheap one ...
The other point is law .. laws are made for people but when they have not food to eat day they can sell anything and once their mind finds a way of getting money they follow that path....
I found so many shop keepers those are selling prohibited things to even kids,they are selling expired things if someone tell them it's wrong they make their own circle of shopkeepers and don't sell things on proper price ..... It's must be easy to complaint against them and process of inquiry, punishment also must be fast

बच्चों को नशे और मादक पदार्थों से बचाने के लिए केवल रोकथाम ही नहीं, बल्कि जागरूकता, भावनात्मक सहयोग, प्रारंभिक पहचान और समय पर सहायता को भी SOP का महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा बनाया जाना चाहिए। विद्यालयों में नियमित रूप से आयु-उपयुक्त जागरूकता गतिविधियाँ, जीवन-कौशल शिक्षा, परामर्श एवं अभिभावक सहभागिता को मजबूत किया जाए। प्रत्येक विद्यालय में ऐसे सुरक्षित एवं विश्वासपूर्ण वातावरण का निर्माण हो, जहाँ बच्चा बिना डर या शर्म के अपनी समस्या साझा कर सके।
“बच्चों को नशे से दूर रखने का सबसे प्रभावी उपाय है—उन्हें सही दिशा, सही संगति और सही अवसर देना।”
“बचपन की सुरक्षा, राष्ट्र के भविष्य की सुरक्षा है।”
साथ ही, नशे से प्रभावित बच्चों को केवल दोषी न मानकर सहायता, उपचार, पुनर्वास और सम्मानजनक पुनःएकीकरण का अवसर दिया जाना चाहिए। विद्यालय, परिवार, स्वास्थ्य विभाग, पुलिस, बाल संरक्षण संस्थाओं और समुदाय के बीच समन्वित प्रयास इस अभियान को अधिक प्रभावी बना सकते हैं।

Drugs & Substance Use Among Children (Joint Action Plan 2021) 1. Prevention & Surveillance: Mandate digital surveillance & strict geotagging for pharmacies within a 100m radius of educational institutions. Integrate anonymous, student-led digital peer support "Prahari Clubs" into school safety protocols. 2. Trauma-Informed Screening: Banish punitive measures (suspension/rustication) for children identified with substance use. Implement non-punitive psycho-social diagnostic tools for teachers and counselors. 3. Pediatric Infrastructure: Prohibit placing minors in adult de-addiction or rehab wings. Establish state-funded, child-friendly pediatric detoxification and psychiatric facilities. 4. Restorative Justice: Treat child victims strictly as "Children in Need of Care & Protection" (CNCP) under the JJ Act, bypassing standard police lockups. 5. Aftercare: Mandate 24-month post-rehab monitoring with vocational support, mental health checks, and flexible school re-enrollment.

राम राम जी,
नमस्कार, आइये आज बात करते हैं ड्रग की आज के समय मैं भागदौड़ की दुनिया मैं पेरेंट्स इतने बिजी हो गए है कि बच्चों पर ध्यान नहीं देते जिसके कारण बच्चे अकेले रहते हे और कुछ लोग जो सिर्फ यही टारगेट करते हे कि कौन सा बच्चा डिप्रेशन मैं हे। वही उनका टारगेट हो जाता हे ।
इस पर काम करने की जरूरत है। सबसे पहले जितने भी स्कूल और कॉलेज हैं उसके आसपास सभी तरह के शॉप जैसे वाइन शॉप, पान की दुकान और भी जितने नशे से लेकर आइटम सभी 1 किलोमीटर दूर रहनी चाहिए।
उसके लिए एक टास्क फोर्स बनानी चाहिए उसके लिए भी मेरे पास idea he ।
आप से कभी बात करना चाहे तो कैसे कर सकते हे।
कृपया बताए
धन्यवाद

Individual assessment and care plan
Each child should receive an individual assessment covering:
Physical health and withdrawal or overdose risk.
Mental health, trauma and cognitive development.
Nature, frequency and duration of substance use.
Co-occurring disability, depression, anxiety or self-harm.
Family relationships and caregiving capacity.
Education and vocational needs.
Exposure to trafficking, sexual exploitation, forced labour or violence.
Immediate safety and protection risks.
The child’s own views, wishes and preferred support

Immediate response and safeguarding
The SOP should prescribe a clear response pathway:
Ensure immediate safety and provide first aid or emergency medical care.
Assess overdose, withdrawal, self-harm, suicide, violence and trafficking risks.
Separate the child from suspected traffickers or exploiters.
Do not interrogate the child repeatedly or require an immediate detailed statement.
Appoint a trained child-protection caseworker.
Inform the child, in simple language, about available help and the next steps.
Contact the appropriate child-protection authority and legal-support service.
Arrange safe accommodation if the family or current location is unsafe.
Preserve evidence without exposing the child to further risk.
Ensure access to an interpreter, disability support or a trusted adult where required.

Early identification
A child-friendly screening and referral mechanism should be available in schools, health facilities, child-care institutions, police units, shelters, juvenile-justice settings and communities.
Early identification should consider:
Changes in behaviour, attendance, appearance or peer groups.
Withdrawal, anxiety, depression, aggression or self-harm.
Signs of intoxication, withdrawal or overdose.
Unexplained money, gifts, travel or communication with unknown adults.
Frequent movement between locations.
Injuries, threats, debt, coercion or control by another person.
Sudden possession of drugs or involvement in delivery activities.
Disclosures of sexual abuse, forced labour or trafficking.
Substance use within the family and exposure to unsafe environments.

Prevention
Prevention should go beyond awareness campaigns and address the factors that increase children’s vulnerability, including family violence, neglect, poverty, homelessness, school exclusion, mental-health concerns, peer pressure, online grooming and trafficking.
The SOP should provide for:
Age-appropriate, evidence-based life-skills and substance-use education in schools and communities.
Positive parenting and family-strengthening programmes.
Safe recreational, sports and cultural activities.
School counselling and anti-bullying measures.
Special outreach for children who are out of school, homeless, in institutional care, in conflict with law or living in vulnerable communities.
1 month ago
A child affected by substance use or illicit trafficking should be treated primarily as a rights-holder and, where applicable, as a victim of exploitation—not as an offender. Prevention, treatment, rehabilitation and reintegration should be integrated across the health, education, child-protection, justice and social-welfare systems.
