The #RedDot is more than just a mark - it’s a bold symbol of awareness, dignity, and solidarity. As part of Public Health Youth Engagement Program on Menstrual Hygiene, held at Berhampur University recently, students, faculty, research scholars, and delegates came together to paint a red dot on their palms - a united stand to break the silence around periods.
This powerful gesture, known as the #RedDotChallenge, highlights the urgent need to end stigma, promote menstrual hygiene, and ensure that every girl & woman can manage her period with confidence and dignity.
What began as a gesture inside university walls echoed far beyond - carrying the message from classrooms to communities, from raised hands to every doorstep.
This multipronged campaign—an ‘Official Partner’ of Global Menstrual Hygiene Day (by WASH United)—was organized by @IFIFoundation in collaboration with @OdishaLIVE and @SwasthyaP, with Berhampur University as the ‘Academic Partner’.

Every single time, the empty exit row of the morning Aka$a service from Bhubaneswar to Pune feels so so comfy.
The food’s the best (my preference) - I’d rank AlX’s gourmet meals better but Aka$a’s hot chocolate as a beverage choice makes up for it.
The 737-8 is not too bad.
We recently had the privilege of hosting our alumnus, @sidharthrath, for an engaging session on “Digital Health for Better Health Outcomes for Everyone.” Sidharth is the founder and CEO of @SwasthyaP, a social enterprise committed to making health information accessible to all.
One of the rare occasions when I'm not wearing handloom on a formal occasion. But I'm still wearing and carrying my culture in this ensemble. Can you guess what??
