Speaking on the occasion, Pramoda Devi Wadiyar said, the initiative seeks to promote a culture of preventive healthcare by encouraging citizens to adopt healthy lifestyles.

Urging people to take a pledge towards better health, she highlighted the importance of                                                        creating awareness about common health concerns.

Addressing students, she encouraged them to openly share their health-related issues during the programme so that they can be addressed by experts associated with the initiative.
