Nand Kumar Jain, President of College Managing Committee along with other committee members and Principal Dr. (Mrs.) Sarita Bahl extended a warm welcome to all the guests. Dr. Ahuja apprised the students of the side effect of junk food. He said that the main reason behind many orthopaedic problems is junk food because it is the most unhealthy food. He discussed different types of food and its constituents. He advised the students to avoid junk food as it leads to many diseases and prefer traditional homemade food which is healthy, wholesome and balanced.

Dr. Upma also told the students that how by following a good and well-balanced diet chart, we can prevent many problems related to bones. She said that DIET actually means Do It Everyday with Tiny Details. She added that we can stay healthy by giving a little attention to the amount, time, frequency and the type of ingredients we eat everyday.

Nand Kumar Jain (President, College Managing Committee) presented a vote of thanks to Dr. Ahuja and Dr. Upma for enlightening the students and the staff about various issues related to our life style and bone health. He said that the one thing which is generally neglected in today’s busy life is our health for which we have to pay heavy price. If we really want to enjoy life then instead of giving excuses, we should give priority to our health. Our young generation can contribute in nation building by being healthy.
