Drug-Free Kerala is a program implemented by the government in view of the need to mobilize the entire country to tackle the extremely serious social problem of increasing use of drugs among the youth and children of Kerala and the emergence of new ways of selling and distributing them. In the program organized by the state government, it was decided to implement a comprehensive health and physical education program in schools to reduce the violence and use of drugs among school children, and as part of this, sports activities should be implemented along with sports.
