📍 Venue: Vani Saraswathi Nursery and Primary School
📅 Date: 02-Aug-2025

As part of the commitment to student well-being, a Free Eye and Dental Checkup Camp on 2nd August 2025 for students and their parents. This event was conducted as part of the Thambi Educational and Charitable Trust’s social initiatives planned for the current calendar year, with a focus on promoting health awareness in the school community.

The camp was jointly organized by:

• Dr. Parthasarathy Memorial Eye Care Hospital, Adambakkam

• Dr. Sowmya’s Dental Care, Teynampet

• Thambi Educational and Charitable Trust, Zameen Pallavaram

During the camp, students underwent:

• Comprehensive eye screening to identify vision issues

• Dental examinations focusing on oral hygiene and early signs of cavities or other concerns

• Awareness sessions for both children and parents on preventive care and healthy habits

The checkups were carried out by experienced medical professionals in a child-friendly and safe environment. Parents were given individual feedback, along with suggestions for follow-up care where necessary.

An important highlight of the camp was the interactive awareness session conducted by the visiting doctors. The ophthalmologist and dental expert shared valuable insights on the do’s and don’ts of maintaining good eye and dental hygiene. They emphasized the importance of proper lighting while reading, limiting screen time, twice a day brushing habits, way of brushing and following a healthy diet. They also highlighted how routine checkups can help detect issues early and prevent more serious complications in the future. The sessions were well-received by students and parents, who found the practical tips highly informative.

The school expresses its heartfelt gratitude to the organizing hospitals, the trust, and the dedicated team of volunteers who helped make this event a meaningful success.

This initiative is a reflection of our continued effort to support the holistic development of students—not just academically, but in terms of their physical and emotional well-being as well.
