Jumde Yomgam Gamlin, showed the way towards drug-free society
Drug-free society has been the dream of India since ages, it has come true partially due to the efforts of a few who have worked towards community rehabilitation. It doesn’t happen overnight, drug rehabilitation, requires complete effort by healthcare providers who have to be available to their patients all the time to help them in this journey.
It is not an impossible feat either, as is proven by Jumde Yomgam Gamlin from Arunachal Pradesh.
According to Gamlin, stopping drug addiction is a complex and multifaceted challenge, one which requires both individual and societal efforts. “Everyone from individuals and families to government and non-governmental organizations has a role to play,” she had said in an event, adding that “early prevention, comprehensive treatment, and ongoing support are keys to breaking the cycle of addiction”.
Gamlin’s Padma honour for her effort in helping people combat substance abuse is a brilliant choice. Through her transformative work in rehabilitation and community outreach, Gamlin has already helped countless individuals recover and rebuild their lives, making a profound impact on society and public health in the region.
