Kathua, Mar 26: With a focused approach to engage youth in constructive activities and strengthen sports culture at the grassroots level, District Administration Kathua, in collaboration with the Social Welfare Department, Thursday organised volleyball matches across all 19 blocks of the district under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan.
The initiative, as per an official statement, held on the direction of Deputy Commissioner, Rajesh Sharma, is aimed at reaching youth in rural and far-flung areas where access to structured recreational avenues often remains limited.
By taking sports activities to village-level institutions and panchayat areas, the administration seeks to provide a positive platform for youth engagement and deter them from falling prey to substance abuse.
