“Don’t limit a child to your own learning, for they were born in another time.” ~ Rabindranath Tagore

Wishing everyone a heartfelt Rabindra Jayanti 🙏

IPER celebrated this special occasion with warmth, joy, and togetherness. The programme brought alive the spirit of Gurudev through the voices of our children, the dedication of our staff, and the inspiring presence of the women of the Aparajita Group.

At IPER, we observed World Earth Day in our classroom. Under the guidance of teachers, the children tapped into their creativity, producing art that depicted the protection of planet Earth.

From designing vibrant posters that advocate a pollution-free world to decorating a globe with greenery, their passion was inspiring. The environmental spirit was in abundance.

One of the most creative works among the displays was particularly eye-catching - the children’s iconic creation of the Earth under a blue umbrella, a powerful symbol of our duty to shield the planet from harm and pollution.

It was wonderful to see the next generation learning that every small hand can make a big difference in keeping our home healthy and green. 🌍💚

On the occasion of Ambedkar Jayanti, IPER pays heartfelt tribute to Dr. B.R. Ambedkar - a visionary leader, social reformer, and the chief architect of the Indian Constitution.

Dr. Ambedkar emphasized the power of collective progress and social responsibility. As he profoundly said, “I measure the progress of a community by the degree of progress which women have achieved.”

At IPER, we are proud to contribute towards women empowerment through our Self-Help Group Aparajita, creating opportunities for financial independence, skill development, and community leadership.

Let us honour his legacy by continuing to work towards an inclusive, equitable, and empowered society for all.

In collaboration with Soroptimist International South Kolkata (SISK), IPER organized an Essential Blood Test and Screening Campaign at its premises as part of its continued commitment to community health and well-being. The initiative provided affordable diagnostic tests, including CBC and HbA1C, benefiting 40+ community members and guardians.

These tests are essential for the early detection of anemia, blood glucose imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and infections, enabling timely intervention and preventive care. A free Thalassemia screening was also conducted for adolescents under the Social Workers guidance, from the day care centres, contact point centres, and IPER’s Open Shelter, supporting early diagnosis and improved long-term health outcomes.

A day out in nature where learning met laughter!
Children from IPER stepped beyond the classroom to experience the beauty of the outdoors at the Lions Safari Park in Kolkata. Accompanied by their teachers, they enjoyed the pleasant weather while exploring the open green spaces and engaging in playful activities.
From swings and rope climbing to slides and seesaws, every moment was filled with excitement, confidence building, and shared laughter. Along the way, the children also observed trees, birds, and colourful flowers, learning directly from nature in the most meaningful way.
The outing concluded with snacks, leaving the children with happy hearts and cherished memories of a day well spent in nature.

On the occasion of International Women’s Day, the Institute of Psychological and Educational Research (IPER) organised a Free Bone Density Screening Camp on 10th March 2026 in collaboration with Soroptimist International South Kolkata (SISK).

The camp focused on the early detection of Osteoporosis and Osteopenia, particularly among women above 40 years of age and senior citizens. Using a bone density scanner, more than 60 individuals were screened, including members of SISK, IPER, and women from the surrounding community.

Senior orthopaedic specialists, Dr. K. K. Chattopadhyay and Dr. Paromita Roy, provided medical consultation and advised appropriate medication for those diagnosed with bone health concerns. Many participants were recommended Calcium and Vitamin D3 supplements along with a balanced diet to improve bone strength.

Such initiatives reflect IPER’s ongoing commitment to community health awareness, preventive care, and women’s wellbeing.

About the Condition:

Osteoporosis is a condition in which bones become weak, brittle, and more prone to fractures due to reduced bone density. It often develops silently over time and is more common in women after the age of 40–50, especially after menopause. Early screening helps identify bone loss before serious fractures occur. 

5 Important Precautions for Bone Health

According to health guidelines from the UK National Health Service (NHS):
1. Ensure adequate calcium intake through foods like milk, dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods.
2. Maintain sufficient Vitamin D levels, which help the body absorb calcium—through sunlight exposure or supplements if required.
3. Exercise regularly, especially weight-bearing activities such as walking, light strength training, or yoga to maintain bone strength.
4. Avoid smoking and limit alcohol consumption, as both can weaken bones and affect calcium balance.
5. Follow a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle to maintain bone density and overall skeletal health.
