The Third Eye continued its mission to spark meaningful conversations by bringing a vital and long-overdue topic into the academic space—a seminar on menopause awareness at Calcutta International School (CIS), organized by Aadya Shakti Aggarwal.

This session was conducted by Dr. Basab Mukherjee, a distinguished gynecologist and vocal advocate for women’s health, who once again lent his expertise to empower a young audience. The seminar was tailored to create awareness among older students and faculty members, with a focus on breaking generational silence and promoting empathy and understanding around menopause.

Aadya, a student of CIS herself and the founder of The Third Eye, opened the session by sharing her vision of normalizing conversations around topics traditionally considered taboo. She stressed that menopause is not just a women's issue, but a family and societal one—and that education must begin early, even at the school level.

Dr. Basab led the audience through an engaging and informative talk on what menopause is, how it manifests physically and emotionally, and why it is important for teenagers to understand the experiences their mothers, teachers, and older female relatives go through. His presentation was both scientific and deeply human, emphasizing the need for compassion and awareness in every household.

The interactive session allowed students to ask bold and curious questions—something that is still rare in most schools. Dr. Basab addressed each question with warmth, clarity, and professionalism, encouraging an atmosphere of respect and open dialogue.

Students left the seminar not only with new knowledge but also with a deeper sense of empathy and a willingness to support the women in their lives. For many, this was their first exposure to the realities of menopause in such a candid and respectful setting.

The Third Eye strongly believes that awareness must begin at the grassroots. By initiating these conversations within schools, we begin to raise a generation that listens, understands, and supports—replacing stigma with strength, and silence with solidarity.

This seminar was more than an event—it was a step toward a more informed and compassionate future.
