Under the "Science and Society" initiative, NASI organized this program specifically to empower women in rural areas of Sohanjana, helping them understand the basics of personal hygiene and address health concerns. The event addressed the challenges many women face in openly discussing health issues due to societal taboos and lack of awareness.

The event featured expert insights from prominent specialists, including Dr. Vijay Sharma, Block Medical Officer, Dr. Suman, gynecologists and Dr. Amandeep Kaur Anand, dental surgeons Dr. Deepak Khullar and Dr. Anuradha, ophthalmologists Dr. Navdeep Kaur and Dr. Jyoti Katoch, child specialist Dr. Sandeep Raina, surgeon specialist Dr. Abhineet Suri, and Ms. Bhanu Priya, counselor. They addressed a variety of health issues affecting rural women, such as malnutrition, anemia, anxiety, osteoporosis, PCOS, oral health, cancers, and eye-related problems. The specialists provided personalized guidance and prescribed medications where necessary. Additionally, kits containing basic medicines were distributed to participants.
The program commenced with a formal welcome address by the event coordinator, Prof. Veenu Kaul. Prof. R.N. Gohil, Secretary of the Jammu Chapter of NASI, spoke about the societal role of the Academy and the significance of addressing health issues, particularly for women.
