The Pehachaan campaign's goal is to inspire children, adolescents, women and mobilize senior citizens to support drug prevention.

Creativity in Delhi 
The slogan for the International Day against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking on 26 June, 2009, was "Do drugs control your life ? Your life. Your community. No place for drugs". Nada India was reaching out to young people by organizing a series of artistic events with the slogan “Do drugs control your creativity and family?” The campaign's goal was to inspire children, adolescents, women and senior citizens to support drug prevention.


Studies have proved that people who start smoking cigarettes and/or drink alcohol at a young age are much more likely to experiment with illegal drugs than people who do not smoke or drink. This is the reason why Nada India has been reaching out to the young people by organizing a series of artistic events like painting and theater by THE ISHARA PUPPET THEATRE TRUST & Nada Deep group with slogan “Do drugs control your creativity and family?” at Jawahar Bhawan Mandi Village,Chattarpur Vllage and Kusumpur Pahari,Moti Lal Nehru camp(Slum opposite JNU) and Massodpur Village . Mr.Bisth In charge Jawahar Bal Bhawan Mandi village & Mr.Suneel Vatsyayan Chairman Nada India Foundation gave away the certificate and handbills on drug prevention issues were distributed among the adolescents. The participation of senior citizens underlined the vital role of the senior citizens in filling the gap between the adolescents. These activities are supported by Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment.
Nada India aims to raise awareness of the major problem that legal and illegal drugs represent to society. No individual, family or community is safe where legal or illegal drugs take control. Drugs may control the body and mind of individual user. Use of correction fluid among school going and street children is on rise in Delhi says Suneel Vatsyayan Chairman Nada India.
The Pehachaan campaign's goal is to inspire children, adolescents, women and mobilize senior citizens to support drug prevention. Nada India supports and facilitates community initiatives with young people and women in crises and uses peer based approach.

Student Suicides and Why Young Voices Must Be at the Center

....This shift in narrative is important: it reflects the world we want — where  young professionals are trusted for their sensitivity and fresh perspective , and where treatment begins with  trust, compassion, and dignity , not fear or coercion.... World Mental Health Day– October 10, 2025 Recently, the leadership of Nada India Foundation met actor Amol Parashar in Delhi. We appreciated his courage in taking on socially responsive roles in web series such as  Gram Chikitsalay   and the live performance Besharam Aadmi . These performances stood out because they did not shy away from difficult truths — about stigma, dignity, and the shift from inner monologues of silence to open dialogues about the everyday realities of mental health.

Behind these numbers are not just statistics but ...

As we close the pages of 2025 and lean into the promise of 2026, one truth stands steady: when young people are trusted, communities breathe easier. This year belonged to youth voices—adolescents finding language for their feelings, students choosing courage over silence, and young leaders creating spaces where they belong. To every young person who stayed, spoke up, stumbled, learned, and returned— thank you . You didn’t just join a program; you co-created safe, honest spaces for well-being. The Year Youth Led the Way  2025 was dedicated to the journeys that don’t come with neat maps. We celebrated role models who walk with integrity and heart— Monica Menon , Nada Good Health Ambassador, for showing how sport, discipline, and mental strength can shape healthier lives; and Hiral , whose consistency, commitment, and confidence remind us that growth is rarely tidy—and that’s okay...
