Telangana student pledge against drugs: event details
The state school education department, police and the EAGLE Force (Elite Action Group for Drug Law Enforcement) will take part in the pledge-administering event. The government plans the exercise to coincide with the reopening of schools after the break.
Schools in Telangana will reopen on June 12, 2026 following the summer vacation, and authorities have scheduled the pledge for that day. Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla was formally invited by the Chief Minister to attend the programme.
How the Telangana student pledge against drugs will be implemented
Officials say the pledge is meant to build collective responsibility among stakeholders in education. The implementing agencies named are the school education department, the state police and the EAGLE Force, which will help organise and oversee the event.
The state government also announced distribution of student kits containing uniforms, textbooks, notebooks, school bags, sports clothing and other essential items. These kits are to be handed out to students when schools reopen.
If you are a student, teacher or parent in Telangana, expect the pledge to be part of first-day activities and the kits to be distributed through your school. Institution managements will coordinate with local police and education officials on logistics and crowd management.
The official release did not specify numbers of students targeted, the exact wording of the pledge, age-wise plans or monitoring mechanisms. Details on distribution timelines, training for staff and evaluation of the programme were not provided.
