Dr. Bansal also highlighted the importance of cervical cancer prevention and HPV vaccination, creating awareness about preventive healthcare and the role of timely vaccination in safeguarding women's health.

Highlighting the impact of digital habits on young minds, Dr. Bansal encouraged students to maintain a healthy balance between screen time and real-life activities. She stressed the importance of spending quality time with family and friends, engaging in physical activities , and having open conversations with parents and trusted friends about their feelings, concerns and challenges.

Our Honourable Director Ma’am, Mrs. Vanisha Bansal, emphasised the significance of empowering young girls with the right knowledge, awareness and self-confidence.
