Empowering Students with Life-Saving Knowledge: An Awareness Session at NCR-CET College

At NCR-CET College, we believe that education extends beyond textbooks and classrooms. It encompasses preparing our students for real-world challenges and equipping them with knowledge that can save lives. Recently, our college hosted a transformative awareness session focusing on three critical topics: World Epilepsy Day, Road Safety Awareness, and Head Injury Awareness.

This enlightening session brought together two distinguished speakers who shared their expertise and invaluable insights with our student community.

Meet Our Expert Speakers

Dr. Altaf Laghari – Assistant Professor & Neurosurgeon, Aga Khan University Hospital

His expertise in neurological conditions and head injuries provided students with a deep understanding of the critical importance of brain health and safety.

DSP Ali Suhag from the Sindh Police AARC division shared crucial insights from a law enforcement perspective. His firsthand experience with road traffic incidents and safety protocols gave students practical knowledge about preventing accidents and understanding traffic regulations.

Head Injury Awareness: Understanding the Invisible Threat

Dr. Altaf Laghari provided critical insights into head injuries, a topic closely connected to both road safety and overall health awareness.

The session covered:

Student Engagement and Impact

The interactive nature of the session allowed students to ask questions, share concerns, and engage directly with our expert speakers. The atmosphere was one of active learning, with students taking notes and participating in discussions about how they can implement these safety practices in their daily lives.
