Meeting: Raising Awareness, Strengthening Communities: Successful Public Awareness Program at J/Sithenrkerni Ganesha Vidiyalayam


On Monday, July 28th, 2025, a Public Awareness Program was successfully conducted at J/Sithenrkerni Ganesha Vidiyalayam, commencing at 10:30 a.m. This impactful event was organized by the Sithenrkerni Mother Association, with the generous support of the Lions Club of Vaddukoddai and the Ministry of Health (MOH).

The primary aim of the program was to educate and empower the local community on important health and family-related issues. The following key topics were covered:

  • Diabetes Management

  • Understanding and Controlling Blood Pressure

  • Positive Parenting: How to Bring Up Children

  • Basic Yoga Training for Everyday Wellbeing

Each topic was presented by subject-matter experts who ensured that the information was delivered in a clear, practical, and engaging manner. The use of simple, easy-to-understand language allowed participants of all backgrounds to fully grasp the key messages. No complicated technical terms were used, making the content highly accessible and relatable.

Due to the high level of interest and active participation from attendees, the program, which was originally scheduled to end at 12:00 noon, continued for over an hour beyond the planned time. This enthusiastic engagement highlighted both the relevance of the topics and the effectiveness of the presentations.

The event was a shining example of community collaboration, with the Sithenrkerni Mother Association, Lions Club of Vaddukoddai, and the Ministry of Health working hand-in-hand to deliver an educational and impactful program. Their joint efforts created a supportive environment for learning and discussion.

We extend our heartfelt appreciation to all the organizers, expert speakers, and community members who contributed to making this program a resounding success. Events like this reaffirm the power of grassroots initiatives in building healthier, more informed communities.
