On 2nd September 2025, Sri Sairam Ayurveda Medical College and Research Centre (SSAMC) celebrated National Nutrition Week by organizing an outreach program at Poonthandalam Primary School.

As part of the initiative, nutritional kits were distributed to the children, and a health camp was conducted to assess their basic health parameters. Along with this, faculty and students of SSAMC conducted an interactive awareness session on the importance of nutrition in daily life.

During the session, school students were educated on:

• The role of a balanced diet in growth and development.
• The importance of locally available foods like vegetables, fruits, and millets.
• Avoiding junk foods and sugary snacks for better health.
• Practicing healthy eating habits from a young age.

The program emphasized that nutrition is the foundation of good health, and small daily choices can prevent lifestyle disorders in the future. Children actively participated, asked questions, and engaged in fun learning activities, making the session lively and impactful.
This initiative not only promoted awareness on healthy living but also reflected SSAMC’s commitment to community health and education.
