Strengthening Adolescent Health Awareness in West Bengal

The school‑based Comprehensive Sexuality Education initiative was implemented in Kolkata and Asansol from July to September 2024. Led jointly by the Rotary Clubs of Capitol Hill and Behala, in partnership with the Indian Academy of Pediatrics, the program delivered training sessions on comprehensive sexuality education and adolescent health across both urban and rural schools.

Funded by the RMCH‑RAG and Rotary District 7620, the initiative reached more than 1,100 students across 13 schools. Pediatricians played a central role, volunteering their time to deliver sessions on sexual and reproductive health, nutrition, mental well‑being, anemia prevention, vaccination, and digital literacy.
This blend of clinical expertise and community engagement proved highly effective.
Students reported meaningful behavior changes, including reduced screen time and greater comfort discussing puberty, consent, and menstrual health.

Notably, the strongest improvements were observed in menstrual hygiene awareness—highlighting the value of culturally sensitive, context‑specific approaches. Despite challenges such as exam schedules, limited parental participation, and higher dropout rates in rural areas, the pilot demonstrated that schools are receptive to structured, external health education. The experience also reinforced the importance of partnerships between medical professionals, educators, and community organizations
