ICanCaRe – KIET Tobacco Marshal Training Program

TRAINING OF TOBACCO MARSHAL – 12th November 2022

For the first time in India, an Institute initiated the TOBACCO MARSHAL program on the campus. Selected faculties and students who are Wardens or in charge of hostels and departments and members of the Ek Prays club at KIET were empowered as TOBACCO MARSHALs.

The vision of Director Dr. A.Garg was ably promoted by Prof. Dr. Pravesh Singh and the much-needed empowered tobacco MARSHAL are being created to make the future of student secure and respectable. The program is supported by Dr. Anil Ahlawat, Dean Academy, and Dr. Satish Kumar, Dean SW.

NEW TOBACCO MARSHAL At KIET

Prof. Dr. Pravesh Singh – The first TOBACCO MARSHAL of India initiated the activities at KIET by first establishing the Club – Ek Prayas at the campus. With that multiple activities were done on campus. The need for empowering the club members was felt. Thus, with ICanCaRe Academy the TOBACCO MARSHAL training was done.

30 candidates took training.

Dr. Pawan Gupta M.Ch., Dr. Neeta Kumar, Mrs. Sonal Bhatia, and Mrs. Minaxi Agrawal were represented by ICanCaRe to share knowledge and experience.

Mrs. Sonal Bhatia, the leader of Tobacco MARSHAL, feels that women are the worst sufferers due to tobacco use in society. She successfully made 1000 women tobacco MARSHALs in 5 months, of which 550 girls from villages were trained as MINI Tobacco MARSHALs.

Mrs. Sonal Bhatia – Need of Tobacco MARSHAL in society

Academic Director Dr. Ahlawat said, “Thank you for the insightful workshop. Our students and staff are all excited to start tobacco control on the campus and hopefully we would make a definite impact on the future of our students”.

4 hours of intensive discussion covered the 8R aspects of Tobacco and empowered each of the participants as TOBACCO MARSHALs.

The most important focus of the session was how to handle a person who is taking tobacco- the conversation that needs to follow with the person engages and guides them towards making him tobacco-free.

Emphasis was also on protecting self and family, especially daughters so that they do not end up with a tobacco user in life getting tormented for their entire life.

Tobacco MARSHALS – they have a major role as influencers to: are essential for tobacco control

§ SAVE youth initiation (BE SMART DO NOT START)

§ Encourage cessation (WIN OVER TOBACCO IS EASY)

§ Increase negative attitudes toward tobacco use (BE CAREFUL AND FEARFUL)

§ Chota Dhana – Identify early lesions of the Oral Cavity

§ Induct more people to support the cause (CAPACITY BUILDING)

§ Increase support for policy change (CREATE TOBACCO-FREE ZONES)

Tobacco MARSHAL is a prestige and a recognition of personal social responsibility against the most dreaded disease in the WORLD.

With the presence of TOBACCO MARSHAL on the campus, it is going to be a major ripple effect at campus and outside the campus.

Dr. Neeta Kumar, Senior Scientist ICMR did some much needed relaxation exercises and practical intervention. Suggested some surveys that can be done.

Minaxi Agrawal distributed the caps and Badges and motivated the participants as TOBACCO MARSHALs.

Inner Wheel District 307 Kick Starts SAVE The Youth Campaign

EMPOWERING WITH KNOWLEDGE, COLLABORATING TO ENHANCE THE REACH with this in mind Dr. Satinder Nijjar led this meeting as the Chairman, involving all the club Presidents of her district. Tobacco is bad it is general knowledge now, but knowing about it deeply increases the power to convince others. Collaborating and piggybacking on experts can enhance our reach. Empowering so that one can in turn reach out to the masses is the way forward to controlling this dreaded disease.

Mrs. Sonal Bhatia Inner Wheel AC member who achieved the feat of 1000 tobacco Marshals during her tenure as DC of district 310 in 2021-22 showcased her achievement, and the enthusiastic response of presidents to get involved in SAVE the Youth campaign and become tobacco MARSHALs themselves.

The tobacco MARSHAL of 310 have extensively worked in society and conducted numerous programs themselves in their own unique way in their local area that including rallies, painting competitions, school programs, etc.

MIME and Poster making competition was showcased on the 29th of MAY 2022, followed by the National Debate on IMPACT OF WOMEN AS TOBACCO MARSHAL had national dignitaries grace the occasion had laid the foundation and deeper understanding of how to create impacts at the grass root levels. The Training of rural girls NCC cadets as MINI – TOBACCO MARSHAL and Teachers was one such step towards this goal.  But this is just a drop in the large ocean. The tobacco mafia with its willful clever surrogate advertisement is sending cues to the young minds and every day 5500 youths in India are inducted into this net of tobacco use. To control these more people have to rise against this TAMBAKU – ASUR and women are the ones who can do it. With this in mind, Mrs. Sonal Bhatia has raised her bar and intends to create 10000 TOBACCO MARSHAL amongst her inner wheel sisters.

Chief Guest, *Dr. Surjit Kaur*, Inner Wheel Association President and National Representative, herself a doctor said that the health of women should be the priority, a healthy-women means a healthy family, healthy generations, and a healthy society. Tobacco is a national Disaster causing deaths across all ages, all communities, and all social strata. It causes harm not only to the self but to the family, spouse, colleagues, and entire community. She congratulated Mrs. Sonal and Mrs. Satinder to take up this issue at a larger level. She was also really happy to get involved with ICanCaRe as they have the readymade program to escalate the same quickly at the higher level. As the President and National Representative for the Inner Wheel Club, she extended her full support for the program and urged Sonal to introduce the same in other districts as well.

Chief Speaker, *Dr. Pawan Gupta* M.Ch. Director Cancer Surgeon MAX and Founder ICanCaRe said that women are the most affected due to tobacco use in society. Women spite not consuming tobacco exposed to tobacco she is affected at the home, workplace, or even in the community. The effect is – health, social, financial, and much more. Women are the savior of their families, and the next generation as well. If she is empowered with the knowledge she gains the decision and intervention power. It is pertinent that women should rise against this product of MASS destruction. Stronger Women Make a Stronger World.

The inner wheel will rise as the main force in to fight against tobacco. Becoming Tobacco MARSHAL is a step towards this reckoning.

Sonal said she totally believes that inner wheel sisters will be the change makers for this cause and she would look forward to making 10000 Tobacco Marshals and urged all present to partner for this.

All the 140 participants enthusiastically looked forward to becoming tobacco marshals and contributing their bit to society.

To a question whether IW members should call doctors for school programs, Dr. Pawan Gupta said that once trained tobacco MARSHALs will themselves independently conduct school sensitization programs and ICanCaRe would equip them with all the necessary materials.

District Chairman from other districts also participated actively they were DC Leena Chandwani 315, DC Renu Agarwal 311, DC Rita Jha -District 325, DC Dr. P Shri Madhavi Devi, National Editor Veena Swamy 21-22. They support Sonal Bhatia to achieve a goal of 10000 Tobacco MARSHALs and work actively in their districts.
