Drug testing college students: IITs, IIMs begin with voluntary urine tests at admission
IITs and IIMs have started voluntary urine drug testing for students at admission as part of a government mission to screen 10 lakh students across 170 central higher education institutes by 2029. The framework, provided by the National Drug Dependence Treatment Centre (NDDTC), ensures confidentiality and prohibits any negative repercussions, with results used solely for counselling. This initiative reflects a growing policy focus on substance abuse prevention in premier educational institutions.
