Rotary Club of Bangalore Midtown and Inner Wheel Club of IT Corridor joined forces to offer a self-defense workshop, “Swaraksha,” to students at Government Polytechnic College.
Swaraksha, meaning “self-protection,” equips students with practical skills to defend themselves. The program targets young women and adult females, teaching them situational awareness, assertiveness, and basic self-defense techniques.
“Empowering our youth with self-defense skills is crucial,” said Rtn. Nishu Ravikiran, Chair of Women Welfare & Girl Empowerment at Rotary Bangalore Midtown.
Rtn. Shantha Divakaran, President of Inner Wheel Club of IT Corridor, echoed the importance of collaboration. “Together, we can ensure more students have access to this training,” she said.
The well-received workshop highlights the need for such initiatives in promoting safety among students.
