Namita Gautam, Managing Trustee, Sleepwell Foundation, expressed her gratitude to NDMC for providing an opportunity to organize this workshop & to Sanjivini for their commitment and integrity in conducting the workshop and to the Participants for actively participating in the workshop.
Through these workshops, she felt that awareness about those sensitive issues pertaining in our society, on which the curriculum of the workshop was based, has been created.
We are hopeful that our amalgamation of basic counsellors although a drop in the ocean, will surely benefit our society and help in the creation of a new India where "People are emotionally well so that they can take care of other people."
