Awareness rallies and street plays were organized across various villages, bringing addiction issues into open discussion. Schools and colleges hosted interactive sessions to educate youth on peer pressure and addiction. Local counselling units and women-led action groups provided emotional support and community-led vigilance, becoming catalysts for change.

Traditional Beliefs and Maternal Health:-In tribal regions, maternal and child health suffers not just from poverty, but from deep-rooted myths around food practices during pregnancy and motherhood. Though forest foods like roots, tubers, and leaves are highly nutritious, misinformation and modernization have disrupted traditional wisdom. To address rising maternal and infant health issues, awareness campaigns are being actively conducted in these communities.
