The health risks of smoking are clear...

Passive smoking does carry risks...

Many leading medical and scientific organizations recognize second hand smoke as a cause of a range of life-threatening conditions...

WHEN you know it is WRONG.
WHEN you know that it AFFECTS you..
WHY DO YOU INHALE the ill-effects of other people's smoking???

SPEAK UP. SPEAK NOW ! :new_scatter:

SIESCOMS launches PRATIGYA - a campaign designed to support the ban imposed by the Government of Maharashtra as on October 2, 2008 on smoking in public zones.

There are a number of advantages gained by banning smoking in public places.

* Governmental agencies will be able to deal effectively with air pollution and health

* It will help countries to earn money from the fines levied on people who smoke

* The process will help to reduce smoking related diseases and deaths which are a threat to those who smoke

* It will promote clean air and a sense of good health among people

Don't we all want this? Should not we care for our own FUTURE?

A ban on smoking in public places will create awareness among citizens about their rights and the proper use of their freedom. It will also help them identify the serious health hazards smoking can cause.

Going forward, the ministry requires adequate backing from every individual and with this event; SIESCOMS intends to provide its wholehearted support for the initiative. The ideology aims to create awareness amongst the masses about the ill effects of smoking in public places and its impact on society at large.

PRATIGYA will initiate a city-wide awareness campaign on the ill effects of smoking in public places. SIESCOMS invites you to render your support for this noble cause.

The campaign has received a jump start in its initial phase. The State Health Ministry has appreciated this initiative and has extended its worthy support to the cause. The campaign will have participants from SIESCOMS and other colleges, the corporate houses and the public at large.

The event aims to create a mass consciousness keeping in line with SIESCOMS’ commitment towards the society. PRATIGYA, a one of its kind endeavor will epitomise the values and culture that SIESCOMS instills in its students.

PRATIGYA is a campaign initiated by the students of SIES College of Management Studies(SIESCOMS), to realize the Governments ban on smoking in public places.

In conjunction with Pratigya, a city wide campaign raising awareness about the ill effects of smoking in public places is to be launched. SIESCOMS invites you to render your support for this Nobel cause.
The campaign has by now received a jump start in its initial phase. The State Health Ministry has appreciated this initiative and has extended its worthy support to the cause.
The campaign is conceptualized through different mediums and platforms to communicate the campaign's motto to the common masses. Commencing with street plays across the city, road shows Pratigya will end with a WALKATHON that serves as the USP of the entire campaign. The walkathon will have participants from SIESCOMS, other colleges, corporates and public at large. The 4.5km walk from Oval Maidan to Girgaun chowpatty will resemble a peace rally with students carrying banners and posters reflecting the cause of the campaign. We aim to involve around 3000 people for walkthon.
