Welcome to 5th National Conference on Tobacco or Health, India

The three-day scientific programme will focus on diverse public health issues and challenges in tobacco control at the national and sub-national level along with context-specific solutions for their replication towards achieving tobacco free environments. The conference format will include plenary sessions, panel discussions, symposia, oral presentation, poster discussion, and workshops on many aspects of tobacco control which will pave the way towards building effective policy and program.

The current national conference at an eminent Institute of National Excellence of the country will boost tobacco control efforts by the amalgamation of tobacco control professionals, health programme managers, public health experts, civil society advocates, academicians and researchers of various clinical and non-clinical disciplines from different states across the country under one roof for sharing contextual experiences and best practices in tobacco control which will ultimately lead to advancing tobacco control in the country. Since Chandigarh has made its presence on global map by being first 'Smoke-Free City' of the country, the proposed conference in the city will boost the tobacco control efforts of the country by drawing the attention of the policymakers to this staggering public health menace. We look forward to welcoming you to "Chandigarh- The City Beautiful"

Information Partner

In the current scenario, we do not have any platform in India from where we can fetch all the information related to tobacco control activities. The existing information on tobacco control India, though highly valuable, is lying scattered at different sources, which needs to be channelized and arranged in a systematic fashion at a particular place.

Secondly, few best practices and innovations in the area of tobacco control go unnoticed as it is not being updated regularly at various websites at the state/national level. In similar lines, the orders and notifications at different administrative levels are not being organized, thus the program managers are not able to access them for the facilitation of the tobacco control program at their state level.

The next issue is about the misleading facts on tobacco control which exists on various web engines. In addition, the budding aspirants (researchers and academicians) in tobacco control do not find a stage where they find opportunities in the area or orient themselves in tobacco control.

This resource centre is intended to provide a one-stop solution to all these existing challenges. This virtual center will help in providing all the relevant information under one roof. Besides, it will regularly update the evidence and facts which will solve the current issues of information-gap and facilitate program managers in seeking correct, reliable, updated and contextual data and statistics in tobacco control.
