Pedaling Towards a Tobacco-Free Tomorrow: My Message on World No Tobacco Day 2025

Pedaling Towards a Tobacco-Free Tomorrow: My Message on World No Tobacco Day 2025

“What legacy are we leaving behind—addiction or awareness?”

It was an honour to serve as Guest of Honour at the World No Tobacco Day Cyclothon 2025 at DLF Mall of India, Noida. Representing Max Hospital Vaishali as Senior Director of Surgical Oncology, I was deeply moved by the collective energy and purpose of the event—Pedaling with Purpose—for a tobacco-free tomorrow.

Tobacco remains one of the leading causes of preventable cancers, particularly oral and lung cancers. Every single puff, chew or dip takes someone one step closer to disease and despair. But hope lies in awareness, action, and timely intervention.

This Event Was a Movement, Not Just a Ride

It was a rallying cry for every citizen to take charge—not just of their health, but of their community. I asked everyone present to become a Tobacco Marshal in their homes, workplaces, and neighborhoods.

Here are three powerful messages I urge each of you to carry forward:

1. BE SMART. DO NOT START.

Prevention is the strongest cure. Say NO to the first puff, the first chew—because that’s where the battle is won.

2. QUITTING IS POSSIBLE.

You don’t have to fight addiction alone. Medical therapy and counseling are available, and they work.
📞 Call Quitline: 9773856664
📧 Email: support@icancare.com
🌐 Visit: www.quittobacco.icancare.com
Or walk into the ICanCaRe Tobacco Cessation Centre at Max Vaishali for support tailored to your needs.

3. SELF-CHECK YOUR ORAL CAVITY MONTHLY.

Early detection saves lives. Look for any “Chota Daana” (small lump/lesion) or non-healing ulcer.
If in doubt, do not wait—visit Max Vaishali for non-invasive screening and treatment options.

Let us remember: Health is not just a personal goal—it’s a collective responsibility. The success of this event lies not only in participation but in what we do next.

💬 Be the voice that says NO.
💪 Be the hand that helps someone quit.
🛡️ Be the Tobacco Marshal your community needs.

Together, we can outpace tobacco—and make India stronger, cleaner, and cancer-free.

Grateful to be featured in newspaper coverage of the Rotary Walkathon 2025 held in Moradabad!

On 27th April, more than 300 individuals — students, community leaders, and health advocates — came together for a powerful cause: WALK FOR HEALTH.

Representing Max Super Speciality Hospital, I had the privilege to share a message on the 3 pillars of wellness:

  • Live mindfully through daily exercise and meditation

  • Eat consciously — avoid tobacco and alcohol, embrace nutritious food

  • Get screened regularly — early detection is the best protection

Thank you to the Rotary Club of Moradabad Brass City for this inspiring platform and to Rtn Payal Gaur, DG Designate 2026-27, for leading the way.

📰 Proud to see this movement reach more hearts through the press.

Let’s keep walking towards a healthier, tobacco-free future.

2025.04.30 GOH at Inauguration of Pi IOTA – Dr Pawan Gupta

A Coaching Centre That Thinks Beyond Coaching – Pi IOTA

It was a privilege to be invited as Guest of Honour at the inauguration of Pi iOTA, a unique educational initiative located in Sector 70, Noida.

At a time when students often have to travel long distances for quality coaching, PiIOTA brings opportunity to their doorstep. What sets this centre apart is not just its IIT/NIT alumni-backed academic strength, but its vision—to mentor and groom each student holistically, beyond just textbook knowledge.

The brainchild of Mr. Nishant Srivastava, PiiOTA is built on a powerful foundation:

  • A team of highly experienced faculty

  • Personalized 1-on-1 coaching

  • Sharp focus on individual strengths and deficiencies

  • Proven track record in guiding aspirants to NEET and JEE success

This isn’t just another coaching institute. It’s a learning ecosystem designed to nurture confidence, clarity, and character in every student.

My heartfelt congratulations to the entire PiiOTA team. I look forward to being available to the students here, especially NEET aspirants, to guide and motivate them on their path to excellence.

Skilling up should not be a matter of distance—it should be a matter of direction. PiIOTA brings that direction home.
