Mrs. Sunita Prabhakar, Director, Gopalan Foundation, spoke on this occasion “Conducting a health camp on our campus helped children understand the importance of good health from an early age. It created awareness about healthy habits, regular check-ups, and self-care, enabling them to take responsibility for their well-being. When children learn the value of being healthy, they are better prepared to learn, grow, and thrive both inside and outside the classroom.
This Health Camp reflected our belief that awareness is key to building healthier and more resilient communities. By bringing reputed healthcare partners together on our campus, we aimed to make preventive healthcare more accessible and to encourage families to adopt informed wellness practices as part of everyday life.”
Through this initiative, Gopalan Pre-University College and Gopalan National School (North) aimed to empower the community with early detection, health awareness, and lifelong wellness practices beyond routine care.
