The event, held on May 28th, featured expert speakers, interactive workshops, and informative sessions, drawing significant participation from the student body.

The seminar was inaugurated by Dr. Kanika Baweja, a renowned gynecologist, who emphasized the importance of menstrual hygiene and its impact on women’s health. In her keynote address, Dr. Baweja discussed the biological aspects of menstruation, common menstrual disorders, and effective hygiene practices.

The faculty members and students participated in Q&A sessions, where they could anonymously ask questions to the expert. This interactive approach fostered a supportive environment for students to voice their concerns and gain valuable knowledge.

The seminar received overwhelmingly positive feedback from all in presence many of whom expressed appreciation for the college’s efforts to address such a vital topic. Students remarked that "This seminar was incredibly informative and empowering.
