Dr. Sumanth Kumar thoroughly examined the children, reviewed their vaccination status, and provided recommendations to promote healthy habits, prevent micronutrient deficiencies, and encourage balanced nutrition and immunization. Dr. Liladhar Lokeshwar performed a comprehensive dental checkup and motivated the children to maintain good oral hygiene.

The children enthusiastically participated in a demonstration on proper brushing technique using a model, making the session both informative and enjoyable. Dental kits were distributed to the children, sponsored by the Twinkle Bells School management.
This initiative highlights NTPC Solapur's commitment to community health and well-being, ensuring a brighter and healthier future for young children.
