Miramar, Goa – August 6, 2025: As part of the global observance of World Breastfeeding Week 2025, the Central Bureau of Communication (CBC), Goa, under the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India, organized an impactful awareness program at Dhempe College of Arts and Science, Miramar.

The event was held in collaboration with the Nutrition Society of India – Goa Chapter, the Goa College of Home Science, and the Health Centre at Dhempe College, aiming to reinforce the message of maternal and child health and highlight the societal role in supporting breastfeeding mothers.

The theme for this year’s World Breastfeeding Week — “Prioritise Breastfeeding: Create Sustainable Support Systems” — was brought to life through a series of informative and engaging segments.

The session opened with a warm welcome by Riyas Babu, Publicity Officer, CBC Goa, followed by an address by Dr. P. S. Ramu Murthy, Principal of Dhempe College, who stressed the value of inter-institutional collaboration in driving positive public health outcomes.

The highlight of the event was a detailed PowerPoint presentation delivered by Varsha Naik, Assistant Professor at Goa College of Home Science and Convener of the Nutrition Society of India – Goa Chapter. She explored key components necessary to support breastfeeding — including healthcare infrastructure, community involvement, and policy measures.

More than 70 girl students attended the event and actively participated in a Q&A session, engaging in conversations around infant care, maternal nutrition, and the long-term benefits of breastfeeding.

To honour her contribution to the cause, the CBC presented a memento to Varsha Naik, acknowledging her consistent efforts in education and advocacy for maternal health.

This initiative stands as a testament to the government’s commitment to fostering a healthier future by empowering women and nurturing the next generation through informed and sustained breastfeeding practices.
