Parents and Sister of Amar Shahid and paid trib-

wreath laying ceremony was conducted under the
campaign ‘Shahidon Ko Shat Shat Naman’ as per
order of 19 UP Girls Battalion, Lucknow, to com-

to raise awareness about the overall
health and well-being of people across
the world. Owing to the increasing
number of diseases and illnesses
around the world, the Primary sec-
tion at Unity College conducted dif-
ferent innovative health activities on
April 7, 2022 to sensitize students
about the significance of good health
and opt for a healthy lifestyle. The
main purpose of celebration was to
ensure global health by sensitizing
its need among the students and
masses. Students of Class I first had
an introductory Question Answer
session on World Health Day. The lit-
tle ones were directed to perform
head-shoulders-knees and toes ac-
tivity with light music playing in the
background. It was followed by spot
jogging and controlled clapping and
laughter session which they enjoyed
thoroughly. Class II students were
given a series of introductory ques-
tions on health and were briefed
about its importance. It was followed
by warm up exercises, laughing ther-
apy and aerobics with music. The
children performed various Yoga
Asanas along with meditation under
the guidance of their teachers. To
particularly lay stress upon the need
to give up on junk food and switch to
healthier food options, Class III stu-
dents were briefed on the profound
benefits of developing healthy food
habits. The little ones also enjoyed
doing outdoor activities like Yoga,
jogging and aerobics to the core. Class
IV students had an outdoor Yoga ses-
sion where they indulged in laugh-
ter therapy followed by meditation.
It was a treat to the eyes to see the
children performing with so much
zeal and enthusiasm. Class V stu-
dents were briefed about the impor-
tance of World Health Day and sub-
sequently learnt how to balance phys-
ical and mental stress. They had to
perform different stretches along
with their teachers who demon-
strated various Exercises and Yoga
Asanas that calm the mind and the
soul. It created interest among the
students to learn Yoga and have fun
simultaneously.
