Why Saiyam
What if together, we could stop addiction even before it begins? ‘Saiyam’ is our answer.
The well-being of our nation is in jeopardy as many young minds find themselves vulnerable to harmful influences such as:Substance Abuse including opioid, cannabis, inhalants and alcohol consumption.Digital Addiction, as majority of youth spend 5+ hours daily on screens.Sexual Risky Behaviour increasing manifold due to lack of proper guidance.
These are critical issues with far-reaching consequences for the futures of our nation. In response to this, the Tarachand Ramnath Seva Trust with knowledge partner Jnana Prabodhini’s Institute of Psychology (JPIP) launched the Saiyam Institute (संयम). Saiyam Institute aims to help these at-risk youth and instil a healthier mindset in them to prevent addiction before it starts.

The Pillars of Saiyam
We believe in creating lasting change through a multi-faceted approach that addresses addiction prevention from every angle.
Our programs align with the National Education Policy (NEP) through:

Inclusive education: By involving multiple stakeholders, the program ensures that education extends beyond the classroom (NEP 2020, Sections 6.1 - 6.8).
Youth empowerment: Various training programs within the Saiyam initiative equip young people with the skills and knowledge to make informed choices (NEP 2020, Sections 4.6, 5.1 - 5.4).

“Before this, I didn’t really know what causes addiction. I had some idea, but not complete knowledge. Through this course, I learned how people get addicted and how we can overcome it. I also learned about the harmful effects of alcohol, mobile usage, and tobacco. By the end, I clearly understood how to free ourselves from these addictions. Watching the different parts of this course helped me understand everything well. I learned many new things by studying this course, and I am thankful to V School for it.”

“The rising addiction among school-age children is a matter of concern for us all as a society. Along with tobacco and alcohol, addictions to social media and drugs are also increasing among children. Under the Saiyam Project, in collaboration with Tarachand Trust, VOPA, and Parivartan, we are implementing a pioneering digital app-based course to equip all school children in Pune with knowledge and skills to prevent addiction. Based on the outcomes, the aim is to expand this curriculum to reach every child in Pune.”
