2020 will be one of the most memorable year for all us and especially for Nada India Foundation as we turn 20 years! On the occasion of International Volunteers Day, we invite you to attend  the most awaited event of the year: National Youth Conclave 2020. 
The main motive of this event revolves around :-
1. Understanding volunteerism as an altruistic behaviour necessary for personal and community well-being
2. Working towards integration of Covid-19 and (Non Communicable Diseases ) NCDs in the life course approach to make it more inclusive for all age groups.
3. Addressing marketing strategies by Big Food, Alcohol & Tobacco that is targeted towards adolescents 
4. Prioritising adolescent health over profit oriented industries
5. Ways to empower youth from their vulnerabilities caused by lack of information and gaps in the health system
We as Nada India team want to make sure that this stigma is broken down and the relevant information is being delivered to adolescents and consumers.
On this journey of good health, well-being and healthy lifestyle, we would love to see you among us at the event. And share your experiences, challenges as a volunteer and even as a consumer.

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. 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.

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...

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 ...
