The Society of Psychology Students of Government College for Girls organised a declamation and collage-making competition.

Students participated in various activites, including gratitude, happiness, emotions, depression and mental health issues.

The highlight of the event was a short play on the theme “Love Yourself” inspired by the UNICEF campaign of “Love Myself”. The play showcased an identity crisis happening due to social media which prompts one to assume fake and self-defeating dispositions.

Dr Singh exhorted the students to understand themselves. He said the first step to gain a good understanding of one’s self is to identify one’s values and strengths.

Sharma said positive thinking can create real value in life and a positive attitude helps to cope more easily with daily affairs of life.

She lauded the students and staff of the psychology deparment for organising the event.
