The inclusion of trained school social workers is vital for addressing the rising threat of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) within India's educational institutions.

"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.
