‘The WHITE Truth': HGVS web series to combat drug addiction among youth
Shimla, Jul 25(UNI) In a educational and creative move to combat the rising tide of drug abuse among youth especially teens, Himachal Gyan Vigyan Samiti (HGVS)—a repute rationalist and civil rights organization has developed a powerful campaign titled 'The WHITE Truth.'
The initiative features a seven-episode web series that blends entertainment with impactful moral messaging, delivered through an educational and supportive framework.
Unlike conventional awareness efforts, The WHITE Truth confronts the harsh realities of substance abuse head-on. It not only highlights the physical and psychological toll on youth but also explores deeper issues such as social stigma, denial, flawed parenting, systemic loopholes, and the complex nexus of the drug trade.
Developed entirely by grassroots youth volunteers inspired by HGVS's ideology, the series emphasizes community-driven solutions and aims to break the silence surrounding drug addiction.
The first season of the series would be launched under HGVS's digital media wing, Gyan Vigyan Stream (GVS), and will be made available on multiple platforms including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The trailer is set for release on International Youth Day, August 12, 2025, while the complete series would be launched across all districts simultaneously on International Literacy Day, September 8, 2025.
To maximize reach, the organization has appealed to community members and partner institutions to help disseminate the content through their networks and social media group including . Posters, introduction videos, and promotional materials will be released shortly to build momentum.
This initiative marks a shift from the 'white lie' to 'The WHITE Truth'—a message HGVS hopes will spark honest dialogue and collective action against one of society's most pressing issues.
