Young India Network for Good Health

Dr. Atul Pratap Singh* India needs solutions to several challenges that have damaged overall health and wellbeing of the people. These challenges are related to health,  harmful effects of unhealthy food advertisements  and eating habits, impurity of air, water and soil and vulnerability of regions to climate change. Human health and climate change should be an integral part of sustainability practices in the universities and college campuses as the youth may become the ambassador of change and development. Hence, we need to focus towards  incorporating health, specifically health related to  eating habits and eco-friendly environment  into the sustainability movement taking place in higher educational institutions.  It is expected that universities and college will take initiatives, become front liners and set the goals for environmental sustainability to launch the healthy and green campus initiatives and share information related to their experiment...

Dr.Antra Singh*  A typical day in the life of an NGO intern during the times of virtual reality & #COVID19  The compelling part of this reality is there is no “typical day”. Some days I just sit in front of my laptop and create, edit training modules, some days are just attending meetings and discussions with my team, and some days I go crazy preparing, reviewing, organizing material. Some days are unstructured and filled with chaos. And then there are even days, I do nothing. Nothing at all. All this, in the midst of attending my virtual classes, as a student of public health. When I think about the journey so far, it has been nothing but a quest to look deep within my own self, surprisingly.  My work as and intern @ Nada India Primarily, my work in the NGO Nada India Foundation involves preparing and conducting training sessions, as a peer supporter. I cannot really recall since when, I had this social bend in mind, wanting to work in the social sector.  Learni...

“ Seventy percent of the preventable adult deaths from NCDs are linked to risk factors that start in adolescence, providing a key opportunity for prevention.” Wh at are NCDs? Cardiovascular disease (CVD)  in children can be congenital or acquired. Globally, 13.9 million children are a ff ected by CVD. Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) is the most common chronic heart disease in children. Cancer  is a leading cause of death for children and adolescents worldwide. Existing data suggests close to 6 million children had cancer in 2017. This may be an underestimate as many countries do not have adequate surveillance systems for childhood cancer. Chronic respiratory disorders  (CRDs), including asthma, respiratory allergies and lung diseases, are a major source of disability in children. More than 108 million children in 2017 were a ff ected by CRDs. Children with CRD often experience high rates of hospitalization. Diabetes  is a condition where the body cannot ...
