The Inclusive Centre, in association with the Women Empowerment Cell of the college, organized an awareness session on “Mental Health and Wellbeing.” The objective of the program was to raise awareness about mental health and wellbeing, reduce stigma, and promote a supportive campus environment. Guest speaker Dr. A. Ananth Kumar, a psychologist and psychotherapist at Govt. Hospital, Machilipatnam, delivered an extensive speech covering various types of psychological issues, especially those concerning the student community. The session was very interactive throughout, and he involved all the students in discussions about their daily routines, future plans, fears, and phobias. Dr. P. Nirmala Kumri, Principal of the College, suggested that students practice yoga, meditation, and physical exercises daily to overcome many physical and psychological issues. The session went well, and students demonstrated a better understanding of mental health issues and their impact. As a token of gratitude, the speaker was felicitated with a memento and shawl at the end of the session. A total of 220 students, along with teaching and non-teaching staff, attended the session.
