“ Hugs—not drugs —are what we must promote,” Mr. Vatsyayan said. “We are all living in our own islands,” he stated, “disconnected from everyone  else. We will have to create a world in which everyone can win.” “If we give importance to participation rather than competition,” Mr. Vatsyayan  explained, “then everyone can win. If you add competition then chances of drug use will increase. Inclusive  approach is important. Isolation can lead to addiction. We need preventive health  system with an inclusive approach.” Mr. Vatsyayan pointed out that: “People in the audience who watch you play become inspired to play and gives birth to a potential player. If we let the audience join us, they may not get addicted. Rahgiri is an amazing example where there is community engagement, and there are no organizers, no medals. It is an inclusive approach.” Maidan Summit 2015 was organised by Magic Bus (NGO)
