Nirbhaya Kanya Abhiyan

Poona Institute of Management Sciences and Entrepreneurship successfully organized Nirbhaya Kanya Abhiyan on 17th February, 2026, strengthened by the steadfast support and leadership of Hon.ble Mr. Hani Ahmed Farid, General Secretary, Anjuman Khairul Islam Trust, Mumbai, and conducted under the visionary guidance of our Director (Incharge), Dr. Porinita Banerjee. The initiative marked a significant and purposeful step toward fostering student empowerment, safety awareness, and holistic development.

The highlight of the program was an impactful and dynamic self-defense session led by Ms. Namrata Mundada, Certified Self-Defense Instructor and Founder of NC Karate & Self-Defense Academy. Through powerful demonstrations and interactive training, she instilled confidence, courage, and situational awareness among students — reinforcing the belief that true strength lies not merely in physical ability, but in preparedness, presence of mind, and self-assurance.

The program was further enriched by an insightful session from Adv. Dr. Girish Bakshi on “Cybercrime Awareness and Legal Protection for Students.” His thought-provoking address equipped students with critical legal understanding and practical digital safety strategies, empowering them to navigate the evolving technological landscape with responsibility and vigilance.

The event also featured an engaging session by Dr. Saummyata Bora on “Digital Detox: Protecting Mental and Physical Health in the Digital Age,” highlighting the importance of mental well-being, balanced technology usage, and mindful living in today’s fast-paced digital world.

The event was not merely a program, but a transformative movement toward resilience, awareness, and self-belief. The initiative reaffirmed the institute’s unwavering commitment to nurturing confident, informed, and empowered individuals prepared to face modern challenges with courage, wisdom, and strength.
