One day workshop-cum-training of Nash Mukt Bharat Abhiyaan (NMBA) for Master Volunteers (MV) was held on 3rd April 2025 at Deputy Commissioner Conference Hall, Wokha. The event was organized by Wokha District NMBA in collaboration with SLCA, Kripa Foundation on the theme “Stronger Together, Action & Transformation”.
Delivering the key note address, Deputy Commissioner, Wokha, Vineet Kumar, IAS, said the roles and responsibilities of the master volunteers is a challenging task as well as a wonderful opportunity because of the fact that their roles will change the lives of someone who have been under substance abuse. He urged the volunteers to conduct spot counseling for the identified users and guide them to the nearest counseling and de-addiction facility. Encouraging the master volunteers to give their best in their venture, the DC said your goal is not to transform the whole society but try to see how many lives you can transform and how much satisfaction you can get when you are able to change and bring an individual life to normality which will definitely have an immense impact in their individual and society as well.
