Adolescents are the building blocks of any nation. On their physical and mental health depends the well being of the future generation. However, adolescence is a period of transition & turmoil as the youngsters go from childhood to adulthood, many of them are unable to adapt to this sudden change & are inclined towards risk taking behaviours thus endangering themselves. The Federation of Obstetrics and Gynaecological Society (FOGSI) has formed the Adolescent Health Committee to reach out to these youngsters and guide them towards a safe future. Delhi Public School Ghaziabad is a supporter of this endaevour and joined hands together with Ghaziabad Obstetric and Gynaecological Society (GOGS) to start Young Womens Club in various educational Institutions in the year 2012.
