Alcohol has emerged as a significant public health concern in Tamil Nadu. The government's establishment of sales targets for alcohol sets a negative precedent for good governance, especially as India aims to achieve sustainable development goals by 2030. Uvakai is dedicated to conducting research and promoting fiscal strategies aimed at diminishing reliance on revenue generated from alcohol-related sources. Additionally, it seeks to mitigate the health and economic repercussions associated with alcohol consumption within society and at the governmental level.
