Healthy Women, Empowered Families – Promoting Health and Awareness among Menchuka, Arunachal Pradesh

With a backdrop of Swasthya Naari celebration at national level, Shashkt Parivaar Abhiyaan and Poshan Maah, a complete health and awareness programme was conducted in Menchukha Valley Public School, Menchuka campus on 23 September 2025. The event theme, "Healthy Women, Empowered Families – Encouraging Health and Awareness", prioritized preventive healthcare and empowerment at community level being most important.

The initiative began with a Medical and Dental Health Check-up Camp, in which 90 students and 16 school personnel participated. The camp offered mandatory check-ups and health guidelines for oral health, diet, and general health, thereby infusing healthier lifestyle practices among young students and teachers.

One of the Day's most spectacular features was an interactive class and live demonstration by Regimental Medical Officer (RMO) on Basic Life Support (BLS), Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), and First Aid. Students were provided with life-saving instruction, and practical training on CPR and simple first-aid protocols were offered. This session empowered children with necessary knowledge to cope well in medical emergencies.

The session also included a tea discussion with the participants, which cemented the bond between the medical team and the school community even more. The program concluded with a group photo, soaking in the spirit of togetherness and consciousness.

This campaign is evidence of the dedication to building healthier better communities through women and children empowerment and development. By creating awareness on preventive care and teaching the younger generation first aid practices, the campaign aids in building a Stronger Family and a Healthier Nation.

 

It was carried out under Indian Army command and with local stakeholders recommitting themselves to public welfare, community wellbeing, and national welfare.
