Nada India program on non- communicable diseases and alcohol control has been featured in Niramaya NCD Newsletter  Volume 2,June 2014 

This E-Newsletter is an initiative of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare Government of India ,World Health Organisation Country office for India, and is produced by Public Health Foundation of India.           Some excerpts are as follows

Nada India works towards providing barrier-free alcohol treatment services across communities. Today, that vision is aligned with drug demand reduction strategy of the Government of India. Nada India has been reaching out to young people through a series of artistic events like painting competition and street theater, Pehchaan Radio Clubs and life skill training workshops. The biggest challenge identified is to protect young people exposed to alcohol consumption at homes by their parents, portrayal of alcohol as acceptable by market driven media, movies and social media. The Nada India's Pehchaan campaign is to inspire alcohol/drug affected children, adolescents, women and senior citizens to support alcohol and drug prevention. Nada India supports and facilitates community initiatives with young people and women and uses peer based approach. Some of the key areas identified by Nada to strength alcohol control in India include empowering panchayats and local bodies to play a role in alcohol control activities; integrating workplace alcohol use prevention in alcohol control policies and prohibiting liquor sale near national highways.
