As part of our Athithi Programme, the Primary students of Sri Prakash Vidyaniketan had the wonderful opportunity to interact with Dr. V. Shankar Vangapudi, renowned paediatrician, founder of Shankar Hospital, Tuni, and a proud alumnus of Sri Prakash.
Dr. Shankar spoke to the children about healthy habits, responsible screen time and nutritious food. He explained the importance of limiting screen use and balancing it with outdoor play, physical activity, reading, adequate sleep and family time.
He also introduced the children to the concept of the “Rainbow Plate”—including different colours of healthy and nutritious foods in our meals. The students learnt that a colourful plate can provide a variety of nutrients essential for healthy growth and development.
The interactive session encouraged our young learners to make healthy choices and develop good habits in their everyday lives. It was an informative, engaging and memorable Athithi experience for the students of Sri Prakash Vidyaniketan.
Eat colourful, stay active, use screens wisely, and grow healthy!
