The camp provided students with personalized guidance on maintaining optimal body nutrients and overall health. Participants found the interactive sessions engaging and informative, gaining valuable insights into their nutritional well-being.The Chemistry department initiative aimed to promote health awareness and foster a culture of wellness among students.
