A meaningful and informative programme on Health and Hygiene and Women Empowerment was conducted at St. Anthony Church School on 7th July 2026 in collaboration with Christ University, Bengaluru. The programme aimed at creating awareness among the students about the importance of personal health, hygiene, well-being, and the role of women in building a strong and progressive society.

The session on Health and Hygiene was led by Dr. Sharon and Dr. Lakshita, who provided valuable insights into the importance of maintaining good personal hygiene and adopting healthy habits. They explained the significance of cleanliness, proper nutrition, personal care, healthy routines, and preventive healthcare. The session encouraged students to become more conscious of their physical well-being and to practise healthy habits in their everyday lives. Their practical explanations and engaging interaction made the session informative and beneficial for the students.

The second session focused on Women Empowerment and was conducted by Dr. Madhuri and Professor Vijaya from Christ University. They spoke about the importance of educating and empowering women, developing confidence, becoming financially and socially independent, and recognising the rights and responsibilities of women in society. The speakers encouraged the students to respect equality, challenge stereotypes, and work towards creating a society where every individual is given equal opportunities to learn, grow and succeed.

The programme was highly enriching and impactful. It helped the students understand that good health and hygiene are essential for a happy and productive life, while education, confidence and equal opportunities are the foundations of women empowerment. The insightful sessions by the resource persons left a positive impression on the students and inspired them to adopt healthy practices and promote equality and respect in their homes, school and society.
