FLO Ahmedabad SHE & STEM Committee, in collaboration with RCA Sarvam, supported by Rtn. Dr. Geetika Saluja and Rtn. Rajesh Shah (Kanchan Foundation) organized the Notebook Distribution & Science Awareness Session. The session witnessed an outreach at Lapkaman Primary School. A total of 191 beneficiaries, including students and teachers, were part of this knowledge-sharing and resource-distribution drive.
1200 notebooks were distributed, ensuring each student and teacher received 6 notebooks to support their academic preparation. Resource Distribution value Rs 51,500 supported by Rtn. Geetika Saluja (Rs. 31,500) and Rtn Rajesh Shah Rs. 20,000).
An engaging session titled “Studying Science is Fascinating” was conducted by Rtn. Dr. Darshan Shah is an eminent orthopedic surgeon specializing in joint replacement, sports medicine, and robotic surgeries.
Dr. Shah simplified complex science concepts and connected them with real-life applications in medicine, especially orthopedic technology. The session also introduced science-related career options beyond traditional paths, making students aware of opportunities in medicine, engineering, research, and robotics.
A key takeaway for many students was overcoming fear of exams, as Dr. Geetika Saluja encouraged them to view exams as stepping stones to personal growth, not a measure of worth.
