Childrens day was conducted in Janet matriculation higher secondary school on 14th November 2018 from the department of public health dentistry, Saveetha dental college and hospital. On November 14 every year, Children’s Day is celebrated all across India. It commemorates the birth anniversary of Jawaharlal Nehru, who, due to his love for children was fondly known as Chacha Nehru.
The day emphasises on the importance of giving love, attention and affection to children. “The children of today will make the India of tomorrow. The way we bring them up will determine the future of the country,” said Nehru.
We have conducted drawing competition for primary class children. School children were very much excited, they started drawing based on the theme ‘environment and nature’. Every student was innovative in drawing pictures. Chocolates were distributed to the childrens at the end of the drawing competition. A power point presentation on health education was given by Dr. Maheswari.E. The presentation focussed on importance of tooth brushing, management of sport injuries, causes for childhood dental caries, about malocclusion , dental traumatic injuries and oral hygiene practices.
