Overview
Our Rotary Club of Calcutta Jadavpur (RCCJ) participated in the National Science Day program organised at the Nabin Manua Iswar Chandra High School in Daspur in the district of West Midnapore. The event included seminars, debates, and poster competitions focused on scientific awareness. Our member, Dr Chitra Mandal, addressed the students on health education and disease prevention. She specifically discussed measures to combat Thalassemia and shared insights on Cervical Cancer awareness. Her session focused on the responsibility of students in spreading health literacy within their communities. The program concluded with discussions on the history of Indian women in science and the importance of scientific thinking in daily life. The unique music video on Thalassemia created by RC Calcutta Jadavpur was played at the program. 142 students from 8 schools participated in the event.
