situational awareness, quick reflexes, and
maintaining a strong presence of mind to
ensure personal safety.
The training was highly interactive and
engaging, with students practicing the
techniques under expert supervision. Their
enthusiasm and determination showcased the
vital role of such sessions in fostering self-
assurance and preparedness. Many students

stronger, more aware, and better equipped to
handle unforeseen circumstances.

thanks delivered by Vice Principal Mrs. Jaseela,
who expressed gratitude to the trainer and
encouraged students to apply their learning in
daily life.

pivotal step in empowering young girls with the
skills, mindset, and confidence to protect
themselves. Indian Learners Own Academy
