The event was celebrated with fervour, featuring active participation from the staff and students, all adorned in yellow, the traditional colour symbolising the vibrancy of Basant. The celebration featured a series of exciting competitions for both students and staff. The kite flying competition was a highlight of the day, with Navpreet Kaur of BSc (Fashion Designing) Semester-II taking the first place. Brahmjit Kaur from BCom (Financial Services)–IV secured the second spot, while Muskan Bhalla of BCom (Honours)–IV and Jasmine Kaur of Bachelor of Vocation-II shared the third place. The staff members also joined in the fun, engaging in lighthearted games such as ‘Tongue Twisters’ and ‘Dumb Charades’, adding to the festive atmosphere.
Cancer awareness camp held
World Cancer Day was celebrated by the students of B.Sc of Chief Khalsa Diwan International Nursing College at Primary Health Care Centre, Fatehpur. Dr Yashpreet Kaur, Principal, Chief Khalsa Diwan International Nursing College and Medical Officers Dr Binveen Kaur and Dr Deepika held an awareness campaign against cancer, an extremely dangerous disease. Dr Yashpreet Kaur said that the ability of a patient suffering from cancer to fight the disease depends largely on the patient’s determination. She said there is no doubt that due to the high cost of treatment and the difficulties faced, the patient and his family members are wary of the disease. Dr Deepika said one should speak to the doctor as soon as possible about any changes in the body so that the disease can be identified on time and the right treatment can be started. An exhibition of posters prepared effectively by the students related to cancer was organised on the occasion and detailed information about the symptoms, causes and types of cancer was shared.
