Sameer Wankhede has been invited as a special guest for the “Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat – Run for Unity Walkathon” in Agra.

Anti-drug awareness and national unity at centre of Agra programme
The letter describes the initiative as promoting a drug-free and empowered India, with particular emphasis on encouraging young people and Generation Z toward responsible choices.
It links the campaign’s objectives with the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for a drug-free and empowered society.
According to the communication, organisers intend the Run for Unity Walkathon to promote national unity, social responsibility, healthy living and awareness against substance abuse.
The event also seeks to commemorate Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s contribution to India’s unity and integrity, placing anti-drug messaging alongside the broader national-unity theme.
Wankhede has been invited in view of what the letter describes as his distinguished service and contribution in narcotics control and prevention of drug abuse.
The invitation says his presence could provide inspiration to participating youth and citizens, while offering insights into creating a drug-free India and a stronger society.
However, the letter represents an invitation to participate and does not, by itself, establish that Wankhede has accepted or confirmed his attendance at the programme.
Sameer Wankhede asked to address participating youth
The organisers have specifically invited Wankhede to share his views with participants about preventing substance abuse and encouraging young people to contribute positively to national development.
The communication says Prof. S.P. Singh Baghel’s office would be honoured by Wankhede’s presence and guidance at what it describes as a socially significant occasion.
The invitation lists the venue simply as Agra, Uttar Pradesh, while identifying November 1, 2026, as the confirmed date for the scheduled walkathon programme.
No detailed route, start time, participation procedure, security arrangements or final list of additional guests is visible in the two-page invitation supplied for review.
The document carries Himanshu Sharma’s name and Government of India designation, along with office details at Krishi Bhawan, New Delhi, and official contact numbers.
For organisers, the programme combines public health awareness with civic messaging, positioning substance-abuse prevention as part of broader discussions surrounding youth participation and social responsibility.
For participants, the event is expected to emphasise fitness, community engagement and national unity while reinforcing preventive messaging about narcotics and other forms of substance abuse.
Sprouts News has based this report on the invitation document provided for review; any confirmation of Wankhede’s participation or programme changes would require subsequent official communication.
As November 1 approaches, further information about the Agra venue, programme schedule, participating dignitaries and Wankhede’s attendance may emerge through organisers or concerned government offices.
