AYURVIDA Observed at Seventh Day Adventist Academy, Rhenock
Pakyong, September 25: The Seventh Day Adventist Academy, Rhenock, solemnly commemorated the observance of AYURVIDA through a profoundly edifying programme which accentuated the cardinal significance of mental health alongside the imperatives of holistic well-being. The initiative, conducted by the Department of AYUSH, Rhenock CHC, witnessed an erudite confluence of principal stakeholders, attracting the spirited involvement of both students and faculty members.
The proceedings commenced with a succinct yet intellectually stimulating discourse on mental health, delineating its symptomatic manifestations as well as efficacious coping mechanisms. This critical exposition was delivered by Dr. Aswin J. Kharka, MOIC, AYUSH, Rhenock CHC, before an audience of approximately 110 participants, comprising the principal, the teaching fraternity, and the student body of the academy.
Subsequent to the didactic session, the programme expanded into an encompassing rubric of clinical engagement which entailed a general medical check-up in conjunction with a specialized emphasis on Hemoglobin (Hb) testing and Body Mass Index (BMI) assessments. Nearly 36 students were thus examined, concomitant with the dispensation of homoeopathic remedies intended to bolster systemic resilience and enhance overall vitality.
In harmonious consonance with the ongoing governmental initiative, the Swasth Nari Sashakt Parivar Abhiyaan, the ambit of the health activities was further extended to incorporate Hb and BMI evaluations of 10 teaching staff, thereby underscoring the indispensability of women’s health as a pivotal foundation for familial empowerment and socio-communitarian progress.
The event was illumined by the spirited and vigorous participation of students and faculty alike and was orchestrated under the consummate stewardship of Dr. Aswin J. Kharka (MOIC, AYUSH, Rhenock CHC), alongside the collaborative support of Mr. Mayesh Thapa and the Principal of Seventh Day Adventist Academy.
The observance, in its essence, represented not merely an act of awareness-creation but a reaffirmation of the profound pertinence of integrative healthcare paradigms, wherein the traditional ethos of AYUSH stands as an enduring beacon of comprehensive well-being.
