ADVOCACY WORKSHOPS FOR STUDENTS

a) ADOLESCENT REPRODUCTIVE HEALTHCARE (for classes VIII & above)

Adolescence is a transition phase between childhood and adulthood during which multiple changes are experienced at physical, mental, emotional and psychological levels. Adolescents tend to develop risk-taking behaviours, and consequently, are at high risk for reproductive system-related illnesses and diseases. This necessitates the need for conducting reproductive healthcare workshops for adolescents for disseminating information on myriad issues that confront young minds, thus helping them make mature and sensible decisions.


b) POSITIVE THINKING & STRESS REDUCTION (for classes V & above)

Growing children many a times face the challenge of low self esteem, which is why they go through a lot of stress that affects their studies as well as their mental and physical health. Our specially designed workshops for students are geared to inculcate positive thinking and counter stress for facing life's challenges boldly.


c) REIKI LEVEL 1 & 2 (for classes III & above)

Teaching Reiki to young children can help them to relax their mind and body, while enabling them to focus better in all what they do. This ultimately helps children grow into strong-minded, physically healthy and spiritually inclined individuals.


d) YOUNG SCIENTIST/BUDDING BIOTECHNOLOGIST PROGRAM (for classes IX and X)

Biotechnology has emerged as a leading interdisciplinary field of science in providing solutions to the many challenges in the fields of medicine, agriculture and industry Our Budding Biotechnologist Program is for kindling the interest for biotechnology in the minds of students who are at the threshold of opting for a chosen field that would define their future careers. With proper motivation and guidance, students having interest in biotechnology can be made to realize the immense scope of this field in shaping their career paths.


e) COMPUTER TRAINING (for underprivileged children)

Basic computer knowledge is essential for making several tasks easier and faster like communication via e-mail, data collection and analysis etc. With the intention to provide equity in education, underprivileged students who do not have access to computer or related gadgets, are provided such training to impart basic skills to operate a computer.
