The PMNCH ’s Accountability Breakfast serves as a reminder of the collective responsibility to implement effective health policies that safeguard the future of women, children, and adolescents.  Through continued dialogue, research, and advocacy, organizations like Nada India can help drive meaningful change, ensuring that tobacco use among women receives the attention it demands within the broader public health agenda. The PMNCH’s 12th Annual Accountability Breakfast, held alongside the UN General Assembly on September 22, 2024, emphasized the urgency of accelerating action to end preventable maternal, newborn, and child mortality. As part of the ongoing efforts to reset priorities for women's, children's, and adolescents' health, the event brought renewed attention to various health risks, including tobacco use, which significantly impacts women’s reproductive health and overall well-being.

The inclusion of trained school social workers is vital for addressing the rising threat of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) within India's educational institutions. While challenges persist, the potential for impactful change is immense.

In today's rapidly evolving world, India's educational institutions face an unprecedented rise in non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and their risk factors, including tobacco, alcohol, and now digital addictions like gaming. The growing prevalence of these issues among youth presents a major challenge, calling for a well-coordinated prevention strategy within schools and

"Empowering Youth: Building Tobacco-Free Educational Institutions through Community Profiling,"  Siya Chohan student of UPES, Dehradoon  and Nada Volunteer    In our late teens, while my friends turned to smoking weed, I stood firm in my decision to abstain.
