Vision Of Haryana
Prayas India exists to provide quality, reliable information, to policy makers, international partners and the general public, about substance use and abuse in India:- its nature, the extent, prevention, treatment, control and underlying problems that negatively impact on nation building. Prayas India is dedicated to strengthening protective factors against substance drug abuse, in collaboration with diverse local teams, through the implementation of treatment and prevention programmes.
Prayas India aims to provide a supportive environment for employees and stakeholders that build commitment and competencies.
No one, especially a young person, likes to be lectured about what he or she can or cannot do. Thus, we provide the facts that empower youth to choose not to take drugs in the first place. Additionally Prayas India Truth About Drugs campaign consists of activities that they can join which popularize drug-free living. These activities are simple, effective and can involve people of all ages.
