Ludhiana, March 5, 2016: The Department of Physical Education of Ramgarhia Girls College organised an Extension Lecture wherein Dr Priyanka Kalra, Consultant Psychiatrist from Deep Hospital, Ludhiana, delivered a talk on the topic “Mental Health of Women.” The Principal of the college, Dr Inderjit Kaur, accorded her a cordial welcome. Dr Rippandeep Kaur, Vice Principal; Mrs Rajeshwar Pal Kaur, HOD, Physical Education and Ms Jasvir Kaur Gill, Asst. Prof. of Physical Education, presented a bouquet of flowers to the speaker. In her lecture, Dr Kalra shed light on the reproductive mental health of women. She averred that the problems faced by women during pregnancy usually go unnoticed and if appropriate treatment is not provided to them in time, they can adversely affect their mental wellbeing. Dr Inderjit Kaur said that the mental disorders that women suffer from generally get ignored in our society and Dr Kalra has aptly highlighted these problems. It is important to generate awareness about their problems among people so that adequate care can be provided to them. Mrs Rajeshwar Pal expressed her gratitude towards Dr Kalra for taking out time from her busy schedule and imparting valuable information to the students. She said that the myths prevalent in our society do not allow women to reveal their problems and it is imperative to sensitizing people about it. Dr Kalra addressed the queries of the students in the interactive session that followed the lecture.
