Udaipur: On the occasion of **“Hunger Service Week”** of Lions Clubs International, Lions Club Udaipur Ashoka organized a special health awareness program, promoting the spirit of service and dedication. The program, dedicated to **Senior Citizen and Shelter Home Day**, was held at **Sukhdham Ashram in Sector 9**, where a free **acupressure training camp** was organized for the senior citizens residing at the ashram.

The session was conducted by the chief speaker **Dr. Alpana Bohra**, President of the Women’s Wing, Consumer Protection Organization (Udaipur District).
