When Knowledge Replaces Fear, Confidence Begins.

On 21.02.2026, ADECOM Network conducted a meaningful awareness and capacity-building program for adolescent girls at Peruvangur, facilitated by District Coordinator Mrs. Babitha.

Twenty-five adolescent girls participated in a session designed to support their physical, psychological, and social development during one of the most important stages of life — adolescence.

The discussion focused on understanding the physical and emotional changes that naturally occur during this transition from childhood to adulthood. By openly addressing hormonal changes, emotional variations, and body development, the session helped the girls replace confusion with clarity and self-doubt with self-acceptance.

🛡️ The program also emphasized girls’ safety — understanding personal boundaries, recognizing unsafe situations, and building the confidence to seek support when needed.

⚖️ Gender equality was another key focus. The girls engaged in conversations about equal rights, equal opportunities, and their vital role in education and social development.

With the dedicated support of PLVs, including Thirumigu Deivakkanni, the session created a safe space for learning, reflection, and growth.

Empowered girls build empowered communities.
And this is how change begins — one conversation at a time.

In the past few days, Cyclone Ditwah has struck a heavy blow to life along the Tamil Nadu – Puducherry coast — and its impact is being felt strongly in areas like Cuddalore, Puducherry, Karaikal, Chengalpattu and Villupuram.

Schools and colleges shut their doors, flights and travel plans were disrupted, and streets turned into waterlogged lanes — making daily life chaotic. Heavy rains and strong winds from Cyclone Ditwah caused flooding, uprooted trees and made roads impassable, often leaving people stranded. For many households, the cyclone uprooted livelihoods: crops and farms were damaged, fishing was halted, and salt-pan and coastal workers lost income as sea conditions grew dangerous.

In coastal and low-lying zones, high tides and continuous rain created flooding risks — people had to leave their homes temporarily, and many faced power cuts and disrupted essential services. For children, elders and daily-wage labourers, the day-to-day routine turned uncertain.

As we stand together in these challenging times, let’s support our communities — help where we can, look out for neighbours, and stay safe. If you can, share verified info about shelters, relief camps or safe-zones.
