One-Day Orientation Training Programme for Adolescent Girls: 23rd Nov 2009

Adolescence is the most crucial period in a person's life. Adolescent girls go through a turbulent phase at this time due to rapid physical growth accompanied by mental, emotional and physiological changes. Gender inequalities give adolescent girls less social exposure and less opportunity. Moreover, adolescent girls are future mothers and investing in their welfare is crucial in promoting maternal and child health.  During adolescence, girls need proper nutrition, care and guidance. They also need, exposure to more opportunities and ways of improving their self-esteem and decision making capabilities.

To address the above mentioned needs of the adolescent girls, Government of India have accorded sanction for the implementation of “Kishori Shakthi Yojana” in the 163 selected schools in the State. Our school is also a part of this programme.
