Rotaract Young Sabala conducted an awareness programme on ‘Good Touch and Bad Touch’ on 27-09-2024.
The Rotaract Students elaborated the concept of the touch.   good touch is physical contact that makes you feel comfortable and bad touch is physical contact that makes you feel uncomfortable. The common human psychology naturally trusts the adults around them and will extend friendships towards strangers without any feeling of doubts.

Hug from parents, shake hand, a high-five from friends or a gentle pat on shoulders are all examples of good touches. On the other hand, if someone tries to touch you in a way that makes you feel yucky or uncomfortable is considered bad touch.  Regarding this matter, everybody should be made aware of good touch and bad touch.

Sabala Young Leaders empowered the students to understand and protect from unsafe touches in order to lead a happy life.
In this programme, Rotaract Sabala Teacher in charge M.R.M Harshitha, lecturer in computer science, Satwika, president, Sabala, Krishna Patel and other Rotarians participated.
