Doon Public School, Panchkula, hosts ‘Rashtriya Poshan Jagrati Mah’

The school hosted ‘Rashtriya Poshan Jagrati Mah’, a month-long campaign aimed at promoting nutritional awareness and encouraging healthy living among students. The initiative, organised as part of the national effort to emphasise the importance of nutrition, featured a series of interactive and educational activities designed to instil healthy eating habits in the young minds. Throughout the month, students engaged in a variety of programmes. Experts were invited to discuss the importance of balanced diet, the role of various nutrients, and how proper nutrition can enhance physical and cognitive development. Healthy cooking demonstrations introduced students to simple, healthy recipes that can easily be incorporated into their daily meals. Students creatively expressed their understanding of nutrition and healthy habits through artistic posters and quiz contests, which fostered a spirit of learning and competition. Teachers, including Vinita and other faculty members, led awareness programmes during assemblies to reinforce the messages of proper nutrition and overall well-being. Events like the Class II Quiz were particularly successful in making younger students aware of healthy eating habits in a fun and interactive manner. Principal Vandana Kumari expressed her satisfaction with the event, stating, “We are immensely proud of our students’ enthusiasm and participation. Nutrition is vital in shaping not only their bodies but also their minds, and this initiative has helped us further embed these values in their daily lives.”
