“On the 5th of October, Poornima Nair, the esteemed Director of Health and Disability at Apnalaya, delivered an enlightening talk during the induction week of our new batch (2023-25) of Master of Public Health (MPH) students. Her session was centered on harnessing the immense potential for social impact within the realm of public health. She brought up various examples from projects she has been involved in, detailing on the challenges that can come up in the field of social impact, and how organisations overcome them.
As a luminary in the field, Ms. Nair’s insights serve as a beacon of knowledge for both our new and existing cohorts of MPH students. Her address provided a profound understanding of the transformative role public health can play in creating positive societal changes, making it a significant and inspiring addition to the academic discourse at our institution.”
