Adolescence is the time where food plays a vital role in making the individual grow into a robust and healthy person. Considering the need to educate the students in the age group of 12 to 14, on taking healthy food , the Atithi programme was conducted for grade 7 and 8 students on 24 th December. Dr T Shanti , MD Psychiatry, was the guest speaker who gave the FOOD FOR THOUGHT to the young minds with her interactive session. She spoke on how to create interest in eating foods which is not liked otherwise . Her explanation on RAINBOW PLATE - making the diet complete by eating all rainbow coloured veggies or fruits daily triggered the young minds as they readily agreed to make their diet RAINBOW coloured. Dr Shanti answered the queries of the enthusiastic students who realised that many of them were malnourished when they compared their physical condition to the ten scale yard stick explained by her. Overall , the session was very informative and interesting. Dr shanti too expressed her happiness on being an atithi on the same campus where she studied.
