A Message from Subhiksha to NYIN Volunteers & CATs: A Spark from Hyderabad to Faridabad

Held during the heart of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Act on Youth Forum 2021 by Nada Young India Network for Good Health (NYINGH) brought together young voices to challenge excise-driven public health policies and advocate for youth-friendly reforms in alcohol and tobacco regulation.

Sunny’s Journey with Nada Young India Network

  Testimony by Sunny Kumar Suryavanshi, Peer Leader & State Convenor, Nada Young India Network The Masrotu Tribe of Village Charda I belong to the Masrotu tribe of Village Charda, nestled at an elevation of 2500 meters in District Chamba, Himachal Pradesh. Our tribe has a proud history of nearly 300 years, tracing our roots back to the Bharmour region. Led by our ancestor Dumanu, we migrated to Charda following the pastoral routes to Lahaul-Spiti, where we eventually settled and continued the age-old tradition of sheep and goat rearing. Today, with a small population of around 200, the tribe still upholds its cultural values and deep connection to the land, although modern education and digital advancements have yet to fully reach our community. Only a few of us have had the opportunity to pursue higher education — I am grateful to be among them. My Personal Journey I am Sunny Kumar Suryavanshi , 24 years old, a postgraduate in History, and a proud resident of Tehsil Churah...
