In Transport Nagar, CSI runs a program called KAVACH. Under same program, CSI also runs a clinic where the truckers can come and get their check up done from a MBBS Doctor at an ordinary fee of Rs. 10-20. As a peer educator, it is Adya’s job to mobilize the community and motivate them to have safe sex and seek qualified treatment in the CSI’s khushi clinic instead of visiting a quack.

Adya can be seen here with fellow truckers whom he has accompanied to the Khushi clinic after finishing his inter personal communication session.
(CSI has 27 such current drivers/ex drivers and helpers working with it disseminating messages on STI and HIV prevention amongst fellow truckers.)
