New Delhi: National Service Scheme unit of Institute of Home Economics, University of Delhi organized a workshop in collaboration with Nada India Foundation themed under Nasha Mukt Bharat. The blog report provides an insightful overview of the key discussions and initiatives undertaken during this workshop, emphasizing the NSS commitment to foster a healthy and drug-free society and the significance of community involvement in tackling this critical issue. 

The seminar conducted on 19 December 2023, had Mr. Suneel Vatsyayan, Life Coach & Chairperson of Nada India Foundation as a resource person. Dr. Bhavna Negi (Program officer) and I Jigyasa, Campus Ambassador (NSS IHE DU) inaugurated the session with an introductory note. The session was well-received by the students. 

The seminar aimed to raise awareness about the dangers of drug addiction and provide information on prevention and rehabilitation.  Drug abuse and addiction is a disease that affects the brain and behavior. Addiction to drugs increases the urge to use them, no matter how much harm the drugs may cause. Drug abuse is legal or illegal when substances are used in ways that it shouldn’t be used. Drug abuse may be in the form of taking more than the regular dose of medicines or using someone else’s prescription.

Drugs may be abused to feel good, ease stress or avoid reality. Addiction is when a behavior cannot be stopped, and not just when it puts health in danger or causes financial, emotional and other problems for self or their loved ones. That urge to get and use drugs can fill up every minute of the day, even if there is an intention to quit. 


Mr. Suneel Vatsyayan made everybody aware of hazardous effect of not only cigarette but of all addiction like drinks or anything else. Students also shared their experience with smokers and alcoholics. He also questioned students about laws for drug abuse especially focused in and around the college. 

The seminar was informative with genius minds singing their minds out and grabbing the opportunity to learn something which is necessary in teenage. Attendees gained insights into the societal factors contributing to drug abuse, setting the stage for targeted prevention strategies.

Exploring the Streets of Bengaluru: Face Reading and Shared Risks

Sometimes, the most profound lessons come from stepping out into the world, engaging with people from all walks of life, and embracing the shared risks that come with unconventional learning experiences... Suneel My recent stay in Bengaluru took an unexpected turn when I decided to explore the back lanes of MG Road. Little did I know that a chance encounter with a psychology student would open up a fascinating experience of face reading right there on the bustling streets.
