In India, 2nd October is celebrated as *National Anti-Drug Addiction Day* to mark the birth anniversary of *Mahatma Gandhi*, a strong advocate for a drug-free society. Gandhi promoted principles of non-violence, self-discipline, and sobriety, believing that substance abuse undermines individuals and society. By commemorating this day on his birthday, the aim is to raise awareness about the dangers of drug addiction and encourage a healthier, addiction-free lifestyle, resonating with Gandhi’s vision for a morally strong and self-reliant India.
