ASR Homoeopathic Medical College Celebrates International Women’s Day 2026 with Multi-Village Health Camps and “Warrior Within” Initiative

Tadepalligudem, March 9, 2026 — ASR Homoeopathic Medical College today celebrated International Women’s Day 2026 in true spirit, launching a powerful combination of rural clinical service and institutional advocacy. Organized in collaboration with the Andhra Pradesh State Women’s Commission and the Umar Alisha Rural Development Trust, the program followed the inspiring theme, “Honouring The Warrior Within.”

Morning Session: Clinical Outreach in Four Villages

The day began with simultaneous Women's Health Awareness and Free Homoeopathic Medical Camps across four key villages: Ballipadu, Paiduparru, Attili, and Relangi. Staff and students of ASRHMC provided clinical screenings and health education to hundreds of rural women. A vital feature of these camps was the provision of diagnostic tests—including Hb%, RBS, Thyroid Profile, and Lipid Profile—at a nominal cost, empowering women with health self-sufficiency and early disease prevention.

Afternoon Session: Empowerment and Institutional Advocacy

The afternoon session at the ASR Seminar Hall featured a high-energy elocution competition followed by a ceremonial inauguration. A significant highlight was the Investiture Ceremony, where distinguished guests officially presented White Scarves to the newly appointed IWD Campus Ambassadors. These student leaders will now serve as the institutional points of contact for gender justice and campus safety.

Voices of Empowerment:

The event was graced by a diverse panel of experts who shared valuable insights:

Chief Guest Smt. Akula Rama Kumari delivered a stirring address, emphasizing that boldness and patience are the keys to success. She stated, "Women must be courageous to withstand hardships and face the world to gain their true identity and self-reliance. This strength is what the coming generations must learn."

Smt. Akula Vimala and Dr. V. Shoba Rani spoke on the importance of professional ethics and clinical leadership.

Smt. K. Manjula and Dr. Sritha provided legal and psychological frameworks for empowerment.

Smt. Gopisetti Dhanalakshmi joined as a special guest, inspiring students with her journey in sports leadership.

A Symbolic Conclusion

The program concluded with the felicitation of all teaching and non-teaching faculty members of ASRHMC for their dedicated service. In a final act of solidarity, the dignitaries, ambassadors, staff, and students signed the ASR Commitment Wall, pledging to uphold the dignity of every woman. The celebration culminated at the ASR Garu Statue with the symbolic release of pigeons, representing peace, liberation, and a commitment to change.
