She briefed the students about the need of getting this test done .A documentary film was shown to the students in order to make them aware about the causes and remedies of Thalassemia. Awareness was spread that if parents are carriers of thalassemia, the child has a greater chance of inheriting a more serious form of the disease. A very informative talk on Thalassemia was also delivered by Principal Monika Mehan. The great response was reflected in the fact that a total of 92 students gave blood samples.

Thalassemia Check Up Camp was organised for the students of classes 8 to 10 on 15th November 2017 in association with Rotary Blood Bank Noida wherein 92 students got themselves tested for Thalassemia. The students were given refreshments after they got their blood tested.
