Public Awareness Program on Adolescent Health Issues

On 28th September 2018, a Public Awareness Program was held at Deshbandhunagar H S Vidyamandir for Girls, Panihati,24 Parg(N) on Adolescent Health Issues which was conducted by the same team of BOGS, Dr Pradip Kumar Mitra, Dr Suranjan Chakrabarti, Dr Saktirupa Chakroborty, Dr Abinash Chandra Ray in the same manner in Bengali. Here two teachers were included as additional panelists just to know how they are thinking about the students. 

To accept the changeover of venue by the faculties from AC auditorium on previous day to very hot & humid hall full of students sitting on the floor was highly admiring. General & Menstrual Hygiene, Common Adolescent problems/Diseases, Endometriosis & PCOS, HPV Vaccine and Sex Education etc  were the main areas of discussion. At the end the panelists were flooded with questions with varied inquisitiveness from the students and they asked a lot about the boys as well. It appeared that Adolescence is shortening and premature Adulthood is in its way through. Although located in suburb/greater Kolkata the teachers of this school were much updated in their thoughts and ideas regarding transfer of message to the students.
