アバウト Sreelakshmi V

Sreelakshmi is enabling young people to launch their own campaign on substance abuse and public health

When Sreelakshmi got to learn that one of her grandparents was a victim of passive smoking, she felt the severity of the issue and wanted to make a difference. She founded Quit To Care - No Smoking Campaign at the age of 14 to create public awareness about the ill-effects of tobacco consumption. The team worked with medical professionals and with businesses to organise awareness sessions and also establish incentives and peer-accountability systems for their employees. The QTC team is now working with the district administration in Kozhikode to help enable thousands of students to launch their own neighbourhood campaigns on this issue.
