Lucknow: Akanksha Samiti, a well-known social organization dedicated to women empowerment, held a health camp on 5 October 2024, coinciding with the auspicious occasion of Navratri. The camp, organized at the Akanksha Samiti headquarters in Butler Palace, aimed at ensuring the well-being of the Akanksha Didis who are actively engaged with the organization. The Didis are part of the organization’s popular Masala Mathri center, renowned in the city for its delicious and pure products.
The camp featured a comprehensive health check-up for the Akanksha Didis, conducted by a team of dentists from Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital and eye specialists from King George’s Medical University (KGMU). Additionally, Kanchankaya, an organization specializing in holistic wellness, shared valuable insights on naturopathy, yoga, and acupressure, promoting a balanced lifestyle among the attendees.
The health camp was inaugurated by Dr. Rashmi Singh, IAS, and President of Akanksha Samiti. During the inauguration, Dr. Singh emphasized the importance of regular health and fitness programs for the Akanksha sisters and their families. She announced that such health initiatives would now be organized monthly to help the members lead healthier and more fulfilling lives, focusing on the balance of mind, body, and soul.
Key Akanksha officials, including Rani Mohan, Vinita Kumar, Priyanka Priyadarshi, Preeti Chaudhary, Shweta Prasad, Meera Singh, and Preeti Ahuja, were present at the event. The camp’s success was largely attributed to the efforts of Rita Mittal and Dr. Tulika Chandra, who played vital roles in its organization. Dentist Dr. Shaili also conducted an informative session on oral hygiene, making the subject easily understandable for the Akanksha Didis.
This initiative reflects Akanksha Samiti’s commitment to not only empowering women through economic opportunities but also ensuring their overall health and well-being.
