Pradesh, organised a 30 hours Online Add-On Course on “Acupressure” which was conducted

the Acupressure Shodh Prashikshan Evam Upchar Sansthan (ASPEUS) and Professor Swati Pal,
Principal, Janki Devi Memorial College, University of Delhi on April 12, 2021 at 3:30 pm.
About 65 participants took part in this Add-on Course which included known people of diverse
fields like College Principal, University Teachers, Scientists, business owners, eminent doctor
from reputed health institutions like AIIMS, who were Covid experts, Practising Acupuncturist,
Suzok Therapist, Social Activist, Bank Manager, retired people and many more.
The resource persons of the Add-On Course were Professor Ramola Madnani, Mr. Brajmohan
Saini both from Acupressure Shodh Prashikshan Evam Upchar Sansthan (ASPEUS) and Dr.
Ambiba Pandey, Senior Physiotherapist, who explained the important aspects of Ayurvedic
Acupressure during this spectacular Add-On Course.
Professor AP Singh said in his statement that during these unprecedented times, the importance of
a course related to acupressure increases manifold. He also made the audience aware of
Acupressure Shodh Prashikshan Evam Upchar Sansthan (ASPEUS) Allahabad, an institution
which is constantly working towards the promotion and propagation of Acupressure. He also
emphasised on the benefits of Acupressure in everyday life.
On this occasion, Professor Swati Pal, Principal, Janki Devi Memorial College, University of Delhi
congratulated everyone on organising such an enriching and successful Add-On Course and
mentioned that in these difficult times, a self-treatment system like Acupressure will help people
in fighting diseases. The biggest truth today is to be vigilant. One who is conscious, is healthy and
one who is healthy, is safe. It is also noticeable that about three generations will be benefitted from
this Add-On Course.
The Course emphasized upon the importance of palms and soles of feet in our body. In
Acupressure, what are the important points of the palms and soles of the feet, what happens in the
body by pressing those points, etc. and how the body reacts to the same were explained in the
initial lectures.
Professor Ramola Madnani said during the Course that Acupressure is like a “First Aid Box”. She
explained the basic meaning of Acu-pressure i.e. “Acu” means point and pressure means applying
force. She also emphasised that the primary treatment of most of the diseases can be done by us
through applying the techniques of Acupressure. Professor Ramola Madnani identified every
pressure point and explained its benefits in detail during the entire duration of the Course. She
explained the primary cures for specific diseases or illness by pressing certain points in great detail.
Treatment of problems like headache, body pain, blood pressure, thyroid, sugar, heart, liver,
kidney diseases, etc can be done by pressing certain pressure points in both arms, wrists, palms
and fingers. Also, many diseases can be cured by pressing and massaging the necessary points in
the head, ear, back of the ear, neck and toes.
During the Add-On Course, it was also claimed that treatment of a pandemic like Covid-19 is also
possible with Acupressure. The necessary points needed for the treatment of diseases were
described with the help of making dots on the fingers with black, blue, yellow and orange colours.
It was also explained that the network of nerves and veins in the human body is actually capable
of treatment of primary physical diseases by applying pressure to specific points. People were
motivated to self-treat themselves. Acupressure can also be used for treatment of chronic diseases.
It has no side effects at all. Also, a person of any age, gender, etc can apply this technique for
treatment of several problems.
The main aim of this Add-On Course, which lasted about one and a half months, was to build the
importance of Acupressure in our daily life. The people participating in this Course were not only
given information to treat themselves, but were also equipped to use Acupressure on any needy
person and establish a disease-free society. Those who do not have money can also be completely
healthy by using these simple techniques of Acupressure.
The participants of the Course were really delighted to be a part of such an enriching Course.
Some participants asked for more of such Courses and Workshops to be organised in the near
future, while others said that due to acupressure, everyone can be guaranteed to be healthy.
The Add-On Course was organized by Dr. Vibha Jain, Secretary General, Janki Devi Memorial
College Alumnae Association with the help of other members of the Executive Body of Janki Devi
Memorial College Alumnae Association. Professor Swati Pal, Principal, Janki Devi Memorial
College, congratulated the members of the Alumnae Association for organisation of such a
successful Course which saw huge enthusiasm amongst the participants to learn the techniques of
Acupressure. She said that when the entire country is in the grip of Covid19 pandemic, organising

‘DECODING DISABILITY IN CHILDREN’
In India 1.7% of the total child population comprises of children with disability. Three fourths of
these children with disabilities are in the age group of early childhood years and one-fourth
between 5-19 years. There are challenges in their early detection and school enrolment. These
challenges are more to do with reasons as people not aware of their needs or not being able to
adapt or accommodate for them than their disability. Passage of numerous laws as PWD Act, RTE
will not reap benefits, till the attitudes towards them are addressed. This includes the attitudes of
teachers towards including the children with disabilities and the attitudes of parents towards
schools ability to address their child’s needs. It is time we all decode disability as diversity in

not always our sympathy but an equitable chance to ensure everybody achieves their full potential.
