Voluntary Health Association of India organized media seminars in three bidi rolling states of India namely West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh. The seminars were of a unique nature because the media persons had an opportunity visit the field areas in the bidi rolling pockets of the country.

These seminars gave an opportunity and exposure to the  journalists helping them get sensitized on an issue which is so important vis a vis public health of their respective states yet completely neglected by the policy makers and the media.
