The Maharashtra government plans to introduce anti-drug lessons in the school curriculum, aiming to raise awareness among students from an early age. According to information attributed to the state government, the initiative is intended to educate students about the dangers and harms of drug abuse. The government also links the move to broader digital safety concerns, stating that students should be made aware of cybercrime alongside anti-drug content. The plan reflects an effort to incorporate prevention-oriented education into formal schooling rather than relying only on later interventions. While details such as the specific grade levels, implementation timeline, and learning materials are not described in the provided reports, both outlets describe the same core objective: to inform children and adolescents about risks related to drug misuse and cybercrime. The proposal is presented as part of the state’s curriculum changes for schools in Maharashtra.
