Self – Care and Hygiene practices
India has a huge adolescent population of 243 million, constituting over 21 per cent of the country’s population. India is yet to meet the Millennium Development Goal 4 (under-5 mortality rate) and MDG 5 (maternal mortality rate). Stages of change in life impacts adolescents’ health and development, health during the adult years and even influences the health and wellbeing of the next generation.
The adolescent period provides a second chance to improve the health and well being of a child in the second decade of his life. SUKRUPA is committed to mainstream the future generation though integrated interventions in the areas of education, empowerment and environment.
Education for adolescents on growth and development of the body is very crucial, SUKRUPA creates an environment where women and girls can articulate their needs—particularly in contexts where there are significant taboos and restrictions, coupled with a lack of accurate information on sexual and reproductive health. The session conducted by Dr.Geetha Patil was very useful and deepened their understanding on the bodily changes in adolescence, need of appropriate self care and hygiene.

Stimulating children’s minds is a great step towards keeping them motivated. Games and activities that can hold their interest keep them focused and provide stimulus to improve the communication and social skills.
To us, music is a cause, a commitment. It helps to instill discipline, confidence and sense of self-esteem. Our big thanks to Bangalore School of Music for giving SUKRUPA kids a deeper understanding of music and opportunities to expand their horizons. With the help of Bangalore School of Music children get exposure and training in western classical music, although eastern classical music (Hindustani & Carnatic), a deeper understanding and appreciation of music and also get opportunities to perform in various platforms. To the SUKRUPA children it’s a channel to express emotions, and for many of our students music has become a dream profession too.
Counseling for ParentsAn open house was conducted for students of standard X and their parents with an aim to prepare themselves more effectively for their upcoming final examinations. Most of the parents are first generation learners or school dropouts who cannot contribute substantially in the academic matters of the children. The meeting was a friendly, informational session to guide them and support their children with more appreciation and value. Similar sessions were conducted for all the classes with a view to improve the parent’s involvement in the academic matters and overall development of their children.
