Operation Toofan 2.0

People’s Resistance Against Drug Abuse

Operation Toofan 2.0
Operation Thoofan 2.0 is a comprehensive action programme implemented under the leadership of Local Self-Government Institutions in Kerala, with active public participation, to control the use and illegal trade of drugs and to create a drug-free society. The primary objective of the programme is to bring together people and stakeholders from various sections of society and establish a strong community-level prevention and response mechanism against drug abuse at the grassroots level..
1. Key Objectives

Demand reduction

Work towards reducing the demand for drugs in society, particularly among the younger generation, and create strong awareness about the harmful effects of drug abuse.

People's Resistance

Ensure anti-drug vigilance in every ward and household, and strengthen the local-level prevention system through the active participation of the community. 

Treatment and Rehabilitation

Identify drug-related problems at an early stage and connect those affected with appropriate treatment, counselling, and rehabilitation support. 

2. The Role of Local Self-Government Institutions

Ward-level Vigilance Committees

Anti-drug awareness and vigilance activities are being strengthened in every ward through the coordinated efforts of elected representatives, teachers, the Police, Excise Department, Kudumbashree, Anganwadi workers, ASHA workers, and other stakeholders. 

Toofan Warriors

Anti-drug awareness programmes and local-level monitoring are coordinated at the ward level with the participation of trained volunteers. 

Thunder Volunteers

Ensure the active participation of young people by supporting anti-drug initiatives and engaging actively in awareness programmes. 

3.Key Activities
  • Organise anti-drug awareness and vigilance activities at the ward level.
  • Ensure community cooperation in identifying potential drug-related hotspots and bringing them to the attention of the concerned authorities.
  • Conduct anti-drug awareness activities in and around educational institutions, including schools and colleges.
  • Organise household visits and awareness programmes for parents under the leadership of Kudumbashree.
  • Increase youth participation by organising anti-drug sports, cultural, and awareness programmes.
  • Ensure continued support and necessary social interventions for individuals who have recovered from drug use. 
4. **People’s Participation**
The fight against drug abuse is not the responsibility of any single government department alone. A strong social defence against drug abuse can be built only through the collective efforts of families, educational institutions, youth, elected representatives, volunteers, social organisations, and various government departments.
