Street play by Nada peer educators and DAV Students team on gender and alcohol

Dear Nada India,
I, on behalf of my school and students,am thankful to you and Team Nada India for giving this opportunity to our students to interact with the underprivileged children,youth and women of village area of Mandi gaon. Performing a street play for them provides a sense of satisfaction as our students are sensitised towards the ground realities of people who survive in deplorable conditions.The village is a difficult place where water is scarce,as children could observe that a water tanker arrives once a week ,and water is to be carried home.Yet Nada India is extremely hopeful.It is providing unstinted support to students and families to live a life of dignity.
Various practical issues like challenges faced during rehab to quit smoking and drinking or quitting drugs to develop drug free environment were discussed with ease.Educating girl child and gender equality too was considered relevant when children suggested that girls too have a right to equal opportunities. Pratima Ma'am,
I was happy to observe that immediately after a course of discussion amongst village (Slum) women,students,and our school students,several women could relate to what we tried to explain.They immediately came up with their own family problems and wanted the male members of their house to quit alcohol.Thus I honestly feel that the dedication with which you are working towards establishing a ' Nasha mukt ' environment is unparalleled.
I am sure that good work that you and your team pursues will help people in need.
Appreciating your kind efforts

Meaningful engagement of Students and Young people to combat the threat posed by the tobacco industry #TobaccoExposed

EXPERT OPINION TOBACCO- A BIGGER KILLER THAN CORONAVIRUS? Jun , 2020, Prof. T K Thoma The day before yesterday [Sunday, 31May], the annual World No Tobacco Day was observed by the World Health Organization [WHO] and member countries. Two significant points may be pointed out. First, this year’s World No Tobacco Day coincides with the coronavirus pandemic and second, the United States, one of the major funders of WHO has quit the UN body. Incidentally, the US is home for some of the largest cigarette manufacturers in the world like Philip Morris and Altria. The theme of this year’s World No Tobacco Day is “Protecting Youth from Industry Manipulation and preventing them from Tobacco and Nicotine Use”. This may be a deviation from the usual generalized and victim-centred themes for the Day since the starting of this annual Day in 1987. The WHO has taken courage to take the bull by the horn by confronting the tobacco industry’s belligerent promotion of campai...
