Morena/Datia (MP): In a proud moment for Madhya Pradesh, IAS officer Kamlesh Bhargava, currently serving as Chief Executive Officer of District Panchayat Morena, has received international recognition for his outstanding work in combating drug addiction during his previous tenure in Datia district.

His name has now been officially entered in the Book of World Records, London, in recognition of his impactful contributions under the Nasha Mukt Bharat Abhiyan (Drug-Free India Campaign).

Innovative Campaign in Datia District Earns Global Praise

During his tenure as CEO of District Panchayat Datia, Bhargava spearheaded a comprehensive anti-drug campaign that included community outreach programs, school and college awareness drives, rehabilitation initiatives, and public engagement through local governance.

His campaign created a massive social movement in the district, making drug prevention a people-led mission. The initiative not only received appreciation at the state level but also caught the attention of international bodies for its innovation, community impact, and measurable outcomes.

International Honour Presented in Delhi Ceremony

In recognition of his exemplary public service, Bhargava was recently honoured at an international event in Delhi. The Book of World Records, London, acknowledged his innovative governance model and commitment to social causes, particularly in the fight against drug abuse.

This accolade adds to his growing reputation as a dynamic and people-centric officer, with residents of both Datia and Morena districts celebrating his achievement.

“His commitment to public service is an inspiration for many. He has turned a social challenge into a collective movement,” said a local official from Datia.

Local Applause and Continued Expectations

Following the recognition, citizens in both districts have expressed immense pride and admiration, encouraging Bhargava to continue such transformative work in other districts as well.

His recognition is being viewed not just as a personal achievement, but as a testament to the power of administrative leadership in driving grassroots change.
