This issue of NARCONTROL covers the events from April to June 2014. The journal is aimed at all

As in the past, the NCB continues its focus on capacity building and training programmes. During

Scheme was valid for a period of 5 years i.e till 31.3.2009. Considering the need for continuation

Rs.15 crore.

to extend the Scheme for a further period of 5 years i.e from 2014-15 to 2018-19 with an
estimated budget of Rs.25 Crore. But before such extension, the Scheme has to be evaluated by
