## ANSWER MINISTER OF STATE FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE AND EMPOWERMENT (SHRI VIJAY SAMPLA)

(a)  to  (d):  To  create  awareness  and  educate  people  about  the  ill-effects  of  alcoholism  and substance (drugs) abuse, the Ministry of Social Justice  &  Empowerment  has  been implementing  a  Scheme  of  Prevention  of  Alcoholism  and  Substance  (Drug)  Abuse  since 1985-86. Under this Scheme, financial assistance up to 90% of the approved expenditure is given to Voluntary  Organizations and other eligible agencies for setting up/running Integrated  Rehabilitation  Centre  for  Addicts  (IRCAs).  In  the  case  of  North-Eastern  States, Sikkim  and  Jammu  &  Kashmir,  the  quantum  of  assistance  is  95%  of  the  total  admissible expenditure.

The main objective of the Scheme is to alleviate the consequences of drug and alcohol dependence amongst the individual, the  family  and  society  at  large  and  to  provide  for  the whole range of community based services for the identification, motivation, counselling, deaddiction, after care and rehabilitation for Whole Person Recovery (WPR) of addicts to make a person drug free, crime free and gainfully employed.

Grant in aid released to the NGOs under the above Scheme during last three years and the current year is placed at Annexure.
