The Shishukunj International School hosted a CBSE initiated Health Literacy Workshop for the educators of Grades VI to XII on the 13th February, 2026. The session was presided over by  Dr. Pranita Sharma,  MPT (Cardio), Menstrual Hygiene Awareness Instructor and Head of the NGO Parineeta Welfare Society. As a catalyst for social change, Dr. Sharma brought her extensive expertise to the fore, emphasizing the vital role of wellness in the academic sphere.

The two hour, action packed session shed light on the subtle health adversities we often overlook in our daily routines. Dr. Sharma masterfully demonstrated practical breathing techniques and stretching exercises that could be integrated into a teacher’s busy schedule. Through a comprehensive presentation, she explored the Seven Pillars of Healthy Living, distinguishing between dieting and health. The keys topics she touched upon were Digital Health, anger and stress management for a healthy mind and a holistic culture of wellness. Maintaining good mental health and being happy she mentioned is a personal choice.

The workshop also focussed on Obesity Management and the basics of First Aid. Dr. Sharma redefined walking and aerobics not as tools for weight loss, but as essential components of a soulful lifestyle. Dr. Sharma offered a compendium on lifestyle diseases and ways to deal with them adeptly. All in all, the session offered a thorough synthesis of modern health challenges and a definitive roadmap to sustainable wellness.
