On a bright day in Pabhojan Tea Model High School, the air was filled with the promise of better health. It was August 17, 2023, and something special was brewing within the school grounds, thanks to our dedicated team.
The school had been transformed into a hub of health awareness, and the guest of honour, Dr. Ajit Gogoi, SDMO of Dhansiri sub-division, added his expertise to the event. With a captive audience of eager students, he embarked on an interactive session that felt like a journey towards well-being.
In his informative speech, Dr Gogoi shared valuable insights on leading a healthy life and the preventive measures to ward off conjunctivitis. He stressed the importance of personal health and hygiene, as well as the significance of maintaining balanced diets.
Notably, the Chief Medical Officer of Cairn Oil & Gas, Dr. Aritra Banarjee stood alongside the entire medical team, enforcing the message of health and well-being. Their guidance extended to educating students on the prevention of vector-borne diseases and Hepatitis B. Our Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) team was also on hand, ensuring safety and awareness.
Around 140 students and teachers were beneficiaries of this event.
Rakhi Saikia, President of the School Management Committee (SMC), and the school’s principal, Papori Sarma extended their heartfelt appreciation to our team for organizing this health session.
But this event was more than a one-time affair; as the SMC members pledged to conduct such sessions periodically, fostering the desired behaviour change among the students.
