The slogan for the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking 26 June,2008, is "Do drugs control your life ? Your life. Your community. No place for drugs." A month long Pehachaan campaign concluded on 26th July with a workshop on drugs & gender for adolescents and ear acupuncture based health camp at Chhatterpur village .Studies have proved that people who start smoking cigarettes and/or drink alcohol at a young age are much more likely to experiment with illegal drugs than people who do not smoke or drink. This is the reason why Nada India has been reaching out to the young people by organizing a series of artistic events like painting and theater by Nada Deep group with slogan "Do drugs control your creativity and family?" at Jawahar Bhawan Mandi Village . Mr.Suneel Vatsyayan Chairman Nada India Foundation gave away the prizes and Chavanprash were distributed among the adolescents. Last three programs of the Nada Deep group on drugs and families at Senior citizen Forum Chhattarpur village ,Mendawali village and Ramprestha Dist. Ghaziabad roped in the senior citizens in the Pehchaan campaign for drug prevention. The participation of senior citizens underlined the vital role of the senior citizens in filling the gap between the adolescents.
Nada India aims to raise awareness of the major problem that legal and illegal drugs represent to society. No individual, family or community is safe where legal or illegal drugs take control. Drugs may control the body and mind of individual user. Use of correction fluid among school going and street children is on rise in Delhi.
The Pehchaan campaign's goal is to inspire children, adolescents and women and mobilize senior citizens to support drug prevention. Nada India supports and facilitates community initiatives with young people and women in crises and uses peer based approach.
