Jogulamba Gadwal district is planning to set up a Drug De-addiction and Rehabilitation Center. This effort follows instructions from the District Collector. The Department of Women, Child, Disabled, and Senior Citizens Welfare is calling for applications from suitable voluntary organizations to establish this center. District Welfare Officer Ms. Sunanda shared this information in a press release.
The center will focus on fighting substance abuse and will offer rehabilitation, medical treatments, counseling, and other recovery services. To qualify, organizations need to have a building of at least 333 square yards. The building must be owned or provided at no cost and be located in the district headquarters or easily reachable by public transport.
Interested NGOs and voluntary agencies should apply online via the e-Anudaan portal at https://grants-msje.gov.in/ngo-login. The deadline for applications is June 30, 2025.
Funding for the center will come from the Grant-in-Aid scheme, allowing selected groups to receive government financial aid for operations and maintenance.
This initiative is part of a larger district effort to tackle the increasing issue of drug abuse and to help affected individuals rejoin society.
