At Dhruti, we believe that true well-being is a harmonious balance between physical fitness and mental peace. On July 23, 2026, we had the privilege of conducting a transformative awareness workshop titled ‘Healthy Body, Happy Mind’ at Dr. Dharmambal Government Polytechnic College for Women, Chennai.

The energetic two-hour session brought together over 300 students to discuss holistic health, practical self-care, and the vital link between mind and body.]
