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.

These interactions helped me understand how awareness gaps, social norms, and accessibility contribute to the problem. This experience la...

Nada India connected virtually with eCPR practitioners in India #COVID19

By
` On Saturday, March 28th 2020, the team of Nada India connected virtually with their co- eCPR  practitioners at 4 p.m to discuss their wellbeing in times of coronavirus and the contribution of the training of eCPR in their lives and the lives of people around them during the lockdown. The idea was to establish a virtual safe space like the physical one that they had created at the training. Kushangi , a clinical psychologist by training, is finding respite in the fact that she can help people in emotional/mental distress by enlisting her services with an NGO that connects her with such people. The discussion was moderated by Riya Thapliyal Nada Team member and facilitated by Suneel Vatsyayan. Emotional crisis is universal. It can happen to anyone at any time.   “ eCPR kaafi practice kar pa rahi hun aur realise kar rahi hun ki koi bhi crisis sirf uss vyakti ki baat sunne se kaafi hadd tak hal ho jaati hai. (I am practicing eCPR quite a lot and I am realising...
