Need to channelise youth energy to save them from drug trap in HP: CS

Shimla, Nov 13 (UNI) For economic rehabilitation of the unemployed youth and children not enrolled in schools, the departments of youth service and sports, education, rural development should identify such youth to bolster the employable skills and livelihood potential besides their economic rehabilitation.
This was stated by Chief Secretary Dr Shrikant Baldi in a meeting held here on Wednesday pertaining to special drive on prevention of drug abuse and alcoholism in the state to be launched from 15th November to 15th December, 2019 by the Chief Minister from the Ridge, Shimla.
He said that as the Kaushal Vikas Nigam is also the primary implementing agency of the Himachal Pradesh Skills Development Project, the youth should be identified by the departments and tie up with the Nigam as well. For increasing the employability of such children who are not going to school and unemployed youth, we should catch them young so that their energy could be channelized in proper manner rather than their falling trap of drug peddlers and becoming habitual of intoxicants.
