CARMEL SCHOOL, DURGAPUR HOSTS FREE HEALTH CHECK-UP CAMP
Carmel Social Club Drives Community Healthcare Initiative; Principal & Faculty Highlight Youth Mental Wellness and Digital Balance
DURGAPUR — In a significant initiative toward community welfare and social upliftment, Carmel School, Durgapur, organized a comprehensive Free Health Check-up Camp on campus under the banner of the Carmel Social Club. The health drive brought together medical specialists, school leadership, faculty, and volunteers to provide free diagnostic screenings and medical guidance for local residents, support staff, and underprivileged families.
💬 Principal Sr. Fideliss A.C Message: Guidance & Mental Wellness in the Digital Age
Highlighting the school's commitment to holistic care—extending beyond physical health to encompass emotional and mental well-being—the School Principal shared a crucial note on supporting youth through modern challenges:
"In today's digital world, many young students experience mental stress and trauma due to constant exposure to technology. At Carmel School, we have established an active counseling framework where our teachers are equipped to identify stress and counsel students in need—particularly those in Classes 11 and 12.
We recognize that in the present day, we cannot keep children completely detached from digital media. Instead, our goal is to guide them toward using technology constructively, helping them make the right choices and maintain emotional balance."
—Sr. Fideliss A.C Principal, Carmel School, Durgapur

The health drive provided specialized consultations across multiple disciplines:
Women’s Health & Gynecology: Consultations led by renowned gynecologist Dr. Sanchita Karmakar.

🤝 Carmel Social Club: Driving Community Upliftment
Speaking on the club's vision, faculty members detailed the ongoing social service roadmap established across Apostolic Carmel institutions nationwide:
Expanding Outreach: Following a successful blood donation drive held three months ago, this health check-up camp marks the club's second major community venture.
Serving the Underprivileged: The initiative specifically catered to Group-D school staff, their families, local church community members, and neighboring families who face financial hurdles accessing private medical care.
Vocational & Educational Plans: Looking ahead, the Carmel Social Club plans to launch self-reliance programs—including stitching, knitting, beautician courses, and free English language classes conducted by school faculty (including Ms. Susmita) for underprivileged children.
🎙️ Faculty Perspective: Service Beyond Textbooks
Emphasizing the core philosophy of "Service Before Self," school educators highlighted the broader message being imparted to students:
"We want our students to understand that real life exists beyond screen buttons and comfort zones. True purpose comes through action and serving society. Teachers aren't just here to teach lessons; we are here to listen, feel, and ensure no student feels alone or overwhelmed."
