EYE HEALTH AWARENESS LECTURE AND FREE EYE-CHECKUP CAMP ORGANISED FOR STUDENTS IN COLLABORATION WITH THIND EYE HOSPITAL-JALANDHAR, DURING STUDENT INDUCTION PROGRAM-2025

As part of the Student Induction Program, an enlightening session on eye health and preventive care was delivered by Dr. Saurabh Mittal, DNB, a renowned ophthalmologist and senior eye specialist in Thind Eye Hospital specializing in pediatric ophthalmology and corneal disorders. The program opened with a green welcome by Principal Dr. Jagjit Malhotra, who underlined the significance of such awareness initiatives for students at the beginning of their academic journey. He highlighted that health and education go hand in hand, and without proper vision, the pursuit of knowledge becomes difficult. His words set the perfect tone for the lecture.

Dr. Mittal began his talk by explaining the structure of the human eye in a simple yet captivating manner for the engineering students. Using the analogy of a camera, he described the cornea as the lens cover, the pupil as the aperture, the lens as the focusing element, and the retina as the film or sensor that captures images. He stressed that each part of the eye is highly specialized and even minor defects can lead to significant loss of clarity. This scientific foundation helped students appreciate the complexity and delicacy of the visual system.

Moving forward, Dr. Mittal discussed common eye diseases and disorders. He explained refractive errors such as myopia, hypermetropia, and astigmatism, and elaborated on serious conditions like cataract, glaucoma, corneal infections, and dry eye syndrome. For younger age groups, he drew attention to squint and amblyopia, which, if not detected early, may lead to lifelong vision challenges. He also highlighted the emerging issue of digital eye strain, caused by prolonged screen use, which has become a widespread concern in the student community.

The lecture then shifted focus to preventive care and lifestyle measures. Dr. Mittal strongly advocated for regular eye check-ups, especially for children and young adults, to detect silent conditions before they progress. He also emphasized the dangers of self-medication, misuse of contact lenses, and unprotected exposure to ultraviolet rays.

One of the highlights of his session was the emphasis on healthy diet for healthy eyes. Dr. Mittal explained that nutrition plays a central role in maintaining vision. He recommended consuming foods rich in Vitamin A such as carrots, spinach, pumpkin, and leafy greens to prevent night blindness and corneal damage. Vitamin C–rich fruits like oranges, guavas, and lemons, he said, strengthen eye blood vessels and reduce the risk of cataract. Vitamin E from nuts and seeds, and Omega-3 fatty acids from flaxseeds, walnuts, and fish, were stressed as essential for retinal health and for protecting against age-related macular degeneration. He also encouraged students to stay well hydrated, limit junk food, and avoid excessive sugar intake that can lead to diabetic eye complications.

To make his session more practical, Dr. Mittal demonstrated eye exercises and relaxation techniques. He explained the 20-20-20 rule: after every 20 minutes of screen use, look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This helps reduce digital strain. He also introduced palming, blinking exercises, and focus-shifting practices that can be done easily during study breaks. These simple exercises, he noted, can make a huge difference in preventing eye fatigue and dryness.

Following the lecture, an Eye Check-up Camp was organized in collaboration with Thind Eye Hospital, Jalandhar, where Dr. Mittal works as Consultant and Assistant Professor. Students and faculty underwent free consultations and vision screening under his guidance and the hospital’s team. This initiative reinforced the importance of preventive eye care by giving participants direct access to expert medical services.

In his concluding remarks, Dr. Mittal reminded the audience that vision is one of life’s greatest gifts and safeguarding it requires awareness, timely care, a healthy lifestyle, and professional guidance when needed. His session not only educated students but also inspired them to adopt habits that protect their eyesight. The combined effort of the lecture and the camp created a lasting impact, leaving everyone more conscious about their eye health and equipped with practical knowledge to safeguard it.

UHV VALUE EDUCATION: LECTURE-CUM-WORKSHOPS BY APPLIED SCIENCES FACULTY AT DAVIET DURING STUDENT INDUCTION PROGRAM (SIP-25)

As part of the Student Induction Program (SIP-2025), the Department of Applied Sciences at DAV Institute of Engineering & Technology (DAVIET), Jalandhar, organized a series of parallel lecture-cum-workshops focused on Universal Human Values (UHV). These sessions were designed to introduce first-year students to the foundational aspects of value-based education under the guidelines proposed by AICTE. The sessions were conducted by four esteemed faculty members—Dr. Shivani Vij, Assistant Professor - A.S. Department and member UHV Cell, Dr. Bhupinder Singh, Assistant Professor - A.S. Department and member UHV Cell, Dr. Payal Sharma, Assistant Professor - A.S. Department and member UHV Cell and Mr. Kamal Kishore, Senior Assistant Professor - A.S. Department and member UHV Cell—each contributing unique insights into different aspects of UHV. Importantly, the sessions were held in parallel batches, allowing for interactive, small-group engagement.

These UHV workshops were not typical academic lectures; they were immersive, introspective experiences designed to shape the personal and ethical outlook of budding engineers. The objective was to help students perceive education not merely as a means to career advancement but as a holistic journey toward self-awareness, responsible living, and harmonious coexistence with others and the environment.

Dr. Shivani Vij led one of the sessions with an emphasis on the larger purpose of education—urging students to reflect beyond academic achievement and professional ambition. Her workshop encouraged students to explore fundamental questions: “What do I really want in life?”, “What brings lasting happiness?”, and “How can education help me become a better human being?” By introducing concepts like self-exploration, harmony within oneself, and peaceful relationships, Dr. Vij made students more aware of the internal dimension of success. She stressed that while academic excellence is important, true fulfillment comes when one understands and lives in harmony with oneself, others, and nature.

Dr. Bhupinder Singh, who conducted sessions on two different days, played a pivotal role in reaching a wider segment of the student population. His sessions focused on ethical behavior, integrity, and social responsibility. Through real-life anecdotes, value dilemmas, and engaging dialogue, he challenged students to examine their conditioning and thought patterns. His sessions were highly interactive, often encouraging students to share their views on everyday moral challenges. His key message was that true success involves not just achieving personal goals, but also contributing positively to society. The recurring theme of empathy and trustworthiness struck a chord with students, who found his delivery both thought-provoking and emotionally engaging.

Dr. Payal Sharma’s workshop offered deep insights into the role of relationships in personal development. She discussed how trust, respect, and emotional intelligence are cornerstones of healthy relationships. Her interactive activities encouraged students to reflect on their interactions with family, friends, and peers, helping them recognize the value of communication, patience, and mutual understanding. Dr. Sharma emphasized the idea that successful relationships are not built on fear or obligation but on natural acceptance and unconditional care.

Mr. Kamal Kishore, a senior faculty member known for his composed and empathetic approach, facilitated his session with a focus on practical implementation of UHV principles in everyday life. He discussed how UHV is not merely a subject to be studied but a philosophy to be lived. Mr. Kishore spoke about self-discipline, sustainability, and social awareness as tools for living a meaningful life. His calm and relatable style helped students connect theoretical UHV concepts to real-life scenarios—like managing time effectively, reducing ecological footprints, and practicing gratitude and kindness.

The workshops were conducted in parallel batches to ensure every student had the opportunity to actively participate. This format created an intimate and focused environment, where each facilitator could interact closely with a specific group of students. In addition to lectures, the sessions encourage self-exploration, foster dialogue, and build a sense of trust within the group. For many students, these were their first experiences of such open and non-judgmental conversations on deeply personal and ethical matters.

These sessions left a lasting impression on their minds. They appreciated the opportunity to discuss personal dilemmas, reflect on the meaning of success, and learn how to approach life with more compassion and mindfulness. Students reported that the sessions helped them see beyond competition and comparison, motivating them to become balanced individuals who are not only technically skilled but also emotionally and ethically grounded.

For some, the sessions brought clarity about life goals; for others, they sparked an interest in philosophical thinking and personal growth. Most importantly, the workshops created a common ethical vocabulary and a culture of mutual respect that will serve as a foundation for the students throughout their time at DAVIET and beyond.

The UHV lecture-cum-workshops at DAVIET were much more than an orientation exercise—they were a transformative initiation into value-based living. By delivering the parallel sessions and covering diverse aspects of human values, the faculty ensured that the message of UHV reached every student meaningfully. The effort of the Applied Sciences faculty, highlighted the institute's commitment to shaping not just engineers, but responsible and empathetic citizens. As students embark on their academic journey, this early exposure to Universal Human Values will serve as a compass, guiding them toward a life of purpose, balance, and harmony.
