This document presents a research proposal on the impacts of drug addiction among youth in Bangladesh. The objectives are to examine the current state of drug addiction, identify common drugs, and understand the impacts on health, economics, and society. Secondary data will be collected from newspapers, reports and websites due to time constraints. Interviews and focus groups are proposed to collect primary data from drug users in Dhaka. Challenges include a short timeline and lack of direct support. The results are expected to show that drug addiction reduces education and morality while increasing crime, hurting productivity and economic growth. Addressing drug addiction is a social responsibility to rehabilitate users and protect Bangladesh's future.

3. Executive Summary/Abstract
Every nation of the beautiful world has badly affected by the drug abused. Bangladesh is no

impossible for me to collect the primary data due to shortage of time. For this I have
dependent on secondary data. So it is a descriptive assaignment basically . In this regard
data has been collected from different type of newspaper, research reports and website.
Drug addiction of young generation and its impact is a sensitive subject. Even I don’t get
enough time to make this paper innovative , resourceful and effective. But there is no
lackings of my hard work and cordial effort.

4. Statement of the Problem
Bangladesh the beautiful country in the world has badly affected by the drug abused . There
are millions of drug addicted people in Bangladesh and most of them are young between

hazard of the addicted people and influences the economic and social aspects of a country.
So if we unable to removed this problem, our next generation will be dropped to the edge
of destruction.
Drug addiction of young generation and its impact is a sensitive subject. Even I don’t get

5. Review of relevant literature
For conducting this study we have reviewed a number of relevant literatures to get clear idea on this
topic. We have studied different literatures from online journals, thesis papers, articles and other
relevant literatures through internet. By reviewing these we find that the prevalence of street children
has been escalating in most of the developing world mostly in Bangladesh. As Narayan Sharma and
Suresh Joshi (2013) have said -“The problems of street children are more significant in the
developing than developed world and it was estimated that more than 100 million children live and
work on the streets in the developing countries.” There are various reasons for being street children
i.e. poverty, over population, illiteracy etc. In this context Narayan Sharma and Suresh Joshi (2013)
have said - “It was found that most of the street children were from joint families and higher
percentage of street children had illiterate parents.” Most of the cases the street children are addicted
to drugs for different causes. Vivek Benegal, Kul Bhushan, Shekhar Seshadri and Mani Karott (1998)
have said - “Much of the drug use is not mindless or necessarily pathological. Relief of boredom or
hunger or depression and frustration, wanting to feel good, to keep awake or get to sleep or to dream
may be some of the functions served by drug use.”

 Proper inplementation of “Narcotics Control Act 1990”
 Create social awareness and expedite the anti-drug movement to save our future generation
from the aggression of the drugs.
 Necessary steps should be taken by the government like addicted rehabilitation, smuggler

7. Methodology of the Study
This study is related with field work and survey methods. At first I have selected all division and some
district than I would survey my selected topic. For data collection; I will be randomly selected spots
with high concentration of street children from each location like Shahbagh, High Court premises,
Kamlapur railway stations, Syedabad, Karwanbazar, Gabtoli, Khilgaon, Mohakhaly, Gulshan,
Gulistan, and Sadarghat Launch Terminal.
Sampling & Sample size:
Before the main survey, a quick field visit to the selected study areas will give an idea about the
concentration of street-dwelling children and their characteristics. This also will help to determine the
way for approaching the ultimate study samples. Five enumerators, who will brief about the study and
visit the specified areas from mid-day to mid-night to do a head count and prepare a map with spots
indicating different concentrations of street-dwelling children, From each spot, around 100
respondents will be drawn through repeated visits within one week. The children who sleep in the
same spot for the last one month will be eligible to be included in the survey. Snow ball technique will
be used to identify the respondents. In the sample, attempts will be made to include all the street
children. Thus, a total of 300 street children from 3 spots will be included in the study

8. Data Collection Procedure
This study will be based on survey method. Skilled interviewers will be recruited for data collection.
A seven-day intensive training will be given to them which will consist of lectures, mock interviews,
role play, and field practice at the community level. An instruction manual explaining the key terms in
the questionnaire will be developed, and provided to the enumerators as a guide. Three teams of five
members each will be formed. On the day of interview, the team will identify the first respondent
according to the definition of street children and criteria for selection. Secondly, they will apply snow
ball technique to identify further respondents present in the spots for interview. The study will include
only those who will be interested. Verbal consent will be taken before the interview. The field
activities will be supervised by the researchers.

Anticipated Results
Drugs become horrible things in our societies, increasing crime, spreading and killing
our youth and our future. Drug addiction has grabbed the whole society. It is
spreading like mushroom and invading the every level of our society like home,
educational institution and affecting individual of all classes.
Drug addiction rapidly decreases the educational, cultural, moral and family values.
The people who take drugs most of them are young and due to taking regular drugs,
they lose their productivity. The addicts lose their professional and educational
capabilities, self-dignity, and get involved in serious or petty criminal activities. The
drug addicted youth drops out from the school/college or university education,
service holder loses his job because of irregularities.
Drug addicts become involved in various anti-social activities to earn money and their
deviant behavior causes many problems in our daily life and appears as obstacles to
our socio-economic and cultural growth and development.
So, it is our moral and social responsibility to rectify the drug addicts and bring them
back from life killing habit and deviant behavior to normal life and rehabilitate them
in society as productive ones.
