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.

Breaking the Cycle: Helping Friends Quit Weed by Siya Nada volunteer from Shimla

"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.
