    Tobacco Free Youth Campaign 

    Achieving the national Non-Communicable Disease (NCDs) targets, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Universal Health Coverage (UHC) calls for the adoption of a ‘Whole-of-Society’ (WoS) approach. Meaningful involvement of key stakeholders and constituencies, including individuals, families and communities, civil society, academia, People Living With NCDs (PLWNCDs) and youth, in NCD prevention and control, is a key strategy for a WoS approach. Identifying common priorities and pathways for these stakeholders to work synergistically is essential to amplify exiting efforts, both at the national and sub-national levels.

    Peer-Driven Wellness Through Campus Engagement

    Svarnim Puducherry, a holistic development project of Sri Aurobindo Society, as a part of their health initiatives organized a Workshop on De-addiction and Wellbeing on July 7 and 8, 2019. The workshop was based on the National Acupuncture Detoxification Association’s (NADA) Protocol, which comprises ear acupuncture for addiction, stress and trauma. The applicants selected included a group of 35 medical and paramedical professionals and interested candidates, who wholehearted and keenly participated in the programme.

    ABOUT US

    Introduction to Nada India Foundation

    In today's society, adolescents, youth, women, and girls face immense challenges in expressing their feelings, seeking help, and addressing issues related to non-communicable diseases (NCDs), addiction, trauma, domestic violence, and mental health. Despite growing awareness, conversations around these topics remain taboo and heavily stigmatized, posing significant barriers to effective service delivery at the grassroots level.

    Nada India Foundation was established to break these barriers and create an ecosystem of barrier-free health delivery services for marginalized communities. With a mission to foster Community Wellness for Behavioral Health, Nada India focuses on addressing addictions, mental health challenges, emotional trauma, and disaster-related stress through holistic and community-centric interventions.

    At the heart of its efforts, Nada India prioritizes health as a fundamental right, engaging young people and communities in regions like Haryana Punjab, Delhi NCR, and Himachal Pradesh, while maintaining a PAN-India presence through the Nada Young India Network for Good Health.

    The foundation undertakes welfare initiatives spanning health, education, environmental sustainability, income generation, and rural development. Specific focus areas include:

    • Preventing tobacco, drug, and alcohol abuse and rehabilitating affected individuals.
    • Promoting mental health care, helping individuals, particularly youth and women, overcome stress and depression.
    • Driving social and cultural transformation in rural and urban slums by fostering a spirit of self-help.
    • Sensitizing government officials, policymakers, and law enforcement agencies on socially inclusive methods for addressing societal challenges.

    Nada India actively raises public awareness on critical social and developmental issues, including violence against women and children, reproductive health, HIV/AIDS, legal literacy and addiction. The foundation also advocates for and promotes alternative systems of medicine, such as homeopathy, yoga, naturopathy, meditation, Acupuncture (NADA Protocol), and Ayurveda, offering services, training, and research in these fields.

    Through a network of dedicated youth leaders and peer educators, Nada India Foundation is transforming campuses and communities into healthy, tobacco-free spaces. Its commitment extends to addressing stigmatized issues like tuberculosis, demonstrating that diseases like TB transcend socioeconomic boundaries and require timely diagnosis, treatment, and community support for recovery.

    Nada India Foundation envisions a society where seeking help is no longer stigmatized, and every individual can thrive in a healthier, more inclusive environment.

    Nada India has been working with multidisciplinary teams and diverse expert networks like Healthy India Alliance, Young India Network for Good Health, National Association of Professional Social Workers in India, NCD Alliance, World Federation Against Drugs and Global Health Council and Movendi International. This approach has facilitated wider outreach in the field.

    • Reflecting on this two-month internship, I feel a profound sense of accomplishment and personal growth. The hands-on experiences, coupled with the opportunity to interact with healthcare professionals and community members, were both enlightening and inspiring. Creating awareness posters, engaging in youth forums, and conducting community profiling were not only educational but also deeply fulfilling as we saw the direct impact of our efforts. Visiting healthcare facilities and learning from experts like Dr. Naresh Chawla and Lalit Kumar Dogra provided practical insights that textbooks could never offer. The guidance and feedback from Suneel Sir were instrumental in shaping our approach and ensuring our progress. This internship was a journey of learning, collaboration, and advocacy, leaving me more confident and committed to making a difference in the field of public health...Kritish Bhalla First year student of Btech (CSE), UPES Dehradun Started internship at Nada India Foundation from 1 June , 2024.
