Health clubs for girls in all UP universities, colleges

The Uttar Pradesh government will set up health clubs for girls in all state universities — private, government, aided — and government-aided colleges. The initiative is part of the third phase of Mission Shakti, a flagship programme of the UP government aimed at empowerment of women. The key activities to be undertaken by the Girls’ Health Club will include events like debate, slogan writing, rangoli making on issues related to health, nutrition, and cleanliness. Along with this, yoga and exercise sessions will also be organized once a week on a regular basis.
