30th January, 2026
The Resource Centre for Tobacco Control (RCTC), PGIMER Chandigarh, set up impactful exhibition stalls at both the 7th National Conference on Tobacco or Health (NCTOH) at AIIMS Raebareli (30 January–1 February 2026) and PHASECON 2026 (13–14 February 2026), serving as dynamic platforms for outreach, engagement, and knowledge dissemination.
At NCTOH, the stall attracted over 157 visitors, generated 20 written feedback responses, and recorded 31 video testimonials from delegates and public health professionals. Interactive activities such as the “Journey to Quit Smoking” Snake and Ladder game, Spin-the-Wheel engagement, a tobacco-free oath signature campaign, and 87 motivational postcards encouraged active participation and advocacy. Delegates also engaged in themed social media outreach, amplifying tobacco control messages.
Similarly, at PHASECON 2026, the RCTC stall showcased key publications, digital tools, training modules, and evidence-based strategies. Interactive awareness activities and stakeholder interactions strengthened visibility, fostered collaborative learning, and reinforced RCTC’s role as a national knowledge hub under the National Tobacco Control Programme.
