NEW DELHI: In an attempt to combat tobacco consumption through education and awareness, the Ministry of Education, in collaboration with MyGov, has launched the World No Tobacco Day Awareness Quiz 2025.
The initiative aims to inform and empower students, educators, and citizens about the ill-effects of tobacco consumption and the importance of making healthy, informed lifestyle choices.
For the first time, the awareness quiz is available in twelve Indian languages: English, Hindi, Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Kannada, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Marathi, Odia, and Punjabi.
This aligns with the principles of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, which emphasises inclusivity and learning in local and regional languages to ensure no one is excluded due to linguistic barriers.
“This is more than just a health initiative—it’s a social and educational mission. By making the quiz multilingual, we are reinforcing our commitment to reach every learner in a language they understand, ensuring that awareness is widespread and accessible,” the Ministry said.
The quiz is free and open to all. Interested participants can visit https://quiz.mygov.in/quiz/world-no-tobacco-day-awareness-quiz/ to select the “World No Tobacco Day Awareness Quiz – 2025”, choose their preferred language, and complete a simple registration using a mobile number or email.
Upon registration, participants will receive a digital certificate from MyGov as recognition of their contribution to a tobacco-free India.

By engaging with this digital platform, participants not only promote healthier lifestyles—particularly among adolescents—but also advance the NEP’s goal of inclusive education that respects India’s linguistic and cultural diversity.
The Ministry is encouraging schools, teachers, students, and community members nationwide to take part and spread the word.
“Let us come together to make this campaign not just a digital event, but a nationwide movement. Every school, every teacher, every student—and every language—matters. Awareness begins with understanding and understanding begins with language, “ it said.
