A Journey That Became Purpose

By
A Journey That Became Purpose By Sagar Kumar Jha Some journeys don’t just build your career—they shape who you are. My time with the Nada India Foundation has been one of those journeys. I joined as an intern, not fully aware of how deeply this experience would influence me. What began as a learning opportunity soon became a space where I understood the real meaning of public health, community connection, and grassroots impact. Working on community profiling in Haryana taught me that public health is not just about data—it is about listening and understanding people’s realities. Leading a team of 30 peers for a tobacco cessation project further shaped my confidence and sense of responsibility. One of the most meaningful parts of my journey was working closely with minors consuming tobacco and engaging with shopkeepers who sold these products. These interactions helped me understand how awareness gaps, social norms, and accessibility contribute to the problem. This experience la...

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

By
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.

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...

Finding Amritsar: Haryali, Trauma and the Social Nature of Healing

By
This journey through Amritsar reaffirmed a simple belief: healing grows through people before prescriptions, through communities before institutions, and through hope before recovery. Prevention, after all, is social. During my recent visit to Amritsar, I discovered a different Punjab. Outside the state, Punjab is often seen through the lens of Udta Punjab —a story of drugs, addiction and despair. What I experienced, however, was another Punjab: a Punjab of Hariyali (greenery), resilience and hope . One of the most meaningful moments of my visit was meeting Dr. J.P.S. Bhatia , whose family represents three generations of psychiatrists. As we spoke, he reflected that Punjab has endured repeated historical trauma and that much of it has quietly travelled from one generation to the next. There was a pause in his voice that conveyed more than words could. This was my second visit to Amritsar. My first was to the Border Security Force  Punjab Frontier while working on stress, alcohol ...
