The Dead Don't Talk
“The Dead Don’t Talk”, SHE-India’s latest documentary film on snakebites in India, is an excellent awareness and advocacy tool. It contains many testimonies by snakebite victims, caregivers and treatment providers. The film is a must-watch for all those who want to reduce the high burden of snakebite envenomings !

Nisarg Vidnyan Sanstha has been working with Priyanka Kadam since 2014 and our aim is to find snakebite victims and ensure they get the necessary treatment. We intend to reach out to needy victims in Maharashtra. It is a big task but together we intend to wipe out this issue in India”.
We have been working with Ms Priyanka Kadam for the past 7 years. There have been many hurdles we have crossed together while dealing with snake bite victim issues. Best of luck to Snakebite Healing & Education Society and we look forward to our association for all future snakebite related initiatives.
