A special session about "How to be Your Own Doctor?" was conducted on 25th June 2025, the fifth day of International Yoga Day's Weekly Campaign organized by the NSS Unit of Poddar International College. Mr. Abhay Raj Dawra, storyteller, personality development trainer, and entrepreneur, was the eminent speaker for this session.
The session shed light on the importance of mental health. Today, one in every six individuals is suffering from a mental health issue, making it essential to consult a psychologist when required. However, we should not completely depend on it and find various techniques to move from darkness to light. These techniques include exercise, self-belief, spiritual knowledge, religion, not comparing self with others, music, positive thinking, and more.
The session shed light on different vocabulary associated with psychology such as OCD, PTSD, Placebo, tension, anxiety, depression, etc. Mr. Abhay Raj Dawra gave the message of overcoming mental health issues by becoming one's own doctor. The "Mirror of the Soul" app was shared with students for more information. Towards the end, Principal Dr. Praveen Goswami and Vice-Principal Dr. Meenu Mangal presented a memento to the esteemed guest. This session proved to be motivational and useful for students.
