Who We Are
Inspired from ideals of Mahatma Gandhi,Late first president of India Dr. Rajendra Prasad,Late Prime Minister Dr, Morarji Desai, and other leaders of freedom movement who were in the government after independence thought over the problems of effective implementation of the Directive Principles of State Policy in the Constitution of India with regard to prohibition of intoxicating drugs and drinks.
They came to the conclusion that education and mobilization of vocal public opinion in favour of prohibition was necessary. They therefore sponsored the setting up of All India Prohibition Council and provided accommodation and funds for the purpose.
The All India Prohibition Council (Akhil Bhartiya Nashabandi Parishad ), was registered under Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860, NCT no. 2314 in the year 1963-64. In 1961 by leaders of the freedom movement who were in the Government mobilised public opinion in favour of prohibition so that Article 47 of the Directive Principle Of State Policy of our Constitution,with regards to prohibition could be effectively implemented.
Shri. Bhaktavatsalam, Ex- Chief minister of Madras State, was the First President of the Council. Shri Moraraji Desai was the next ‘President’. Former Union Health Minister Dr. Sushila Nayar took over from Shri Desai in 1967.
