Day 4:

ESSAY WRITING /POETRY/PODCASTS /SHORT MOVIES ON THEME:

‘MENTAL HEALTH’ AND ‘GET FIT, DON’T QUIT’

A brainchild of honorable PM, Sh Narendra Modi, the Fit India Movement is yet another effort to involve citizens of the country to draw out a plan to make India, a fit nation. The basic tenet on which the Fit India Movement was envisaged, is to involve citizens to imbibe fun, easy, and non-expensive ways to remain fit, to bring about a behavioural change making fitness an imperative part of every Indian’s life. The movement touched new heights with the fervent participation of Ahlconites in a plethora of activities. ‘Mental Health’ and ‘Get Fit, Don’t Quit’ were the two themes that were given to the students of class XI and they were encouraged to submit essays, poetry, podcasts, short movies to share their views on the same. Through their work, students explained mental health to be a mentionable and manageable entity and emphasised on laying a stronger foundation that can further destigmatise the entire society. Through divided efforts and sensitization, one can bring little but significant changes in the current outlook of society towards mental health and stigmas towards mental health. Students also shared their opinion on how the pandemic has paved way to lethargy and unhealthy attitude in people. They emphasised on the importance of saying NO to unhealthy cravings and have  optimistic approach towards staying healthy. All in all this was an engaging activity and the efforts of students were highly praised by the Headmaster and Principal.
