About Narcotics Control Bureau

Narcotics Control Bureau Logo

The role of Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) as the nodal agency on the matter of drug law enforcement in India has gained prominence in recent times. This is due to manifold reasons, both domestic and international. I am happy to see that NCB is coping with these challenges despite its limited manpower. Intelligence, Enforcement and Coordination, as part of the NCB motto are also the three pillars on which work and mandate of NCB is based. Over the years, NCB has generated quality intelligence leading to detection and disruption of organized drug trafficking groups. It has also been acting as a coordinating entity between various narcotics and drug law enforcement agencies within the country and also as India’s nodal point with international agencies like UNODC, INCB etc.
