Training Programme On Anti-Superstition Drive

Superstition has become irrational belief in supernatural influences leading to good or bad luck, or a practice based on such a belief. A training programme on “Anti Superstition Drive” was organized on 11^th February, 2018 at the Green Galaxy of Abeda Inamdar Senior College, Azam Campus, Pune in association with Maharshtra Andh Shraddha Nirmulan Samittee. The main objective behind the program was to get people aware about the superstition and tricks/chemistry behind the superstition. Many people become fool after watching some tricks played by the fake faith healers without knowing the fact of the tricks played.

The faculty members and students of Abeda Inamdar Senior College attended the training programme along with Dr. Shaila Bootwala and Dr. Khursheed Ahmad Two sessions were conducted between 9:00 am to 1:00 pm. Mrs. Nandani Jadhav  (President, Maharshtra Andh Shraddha Nirmulan Samittee) and Milind Deshmukh (Secretary,  Maharshtra Andh Shraddha Nirmulan Samittee) performed various experiments to show and explain the Tricks/Chemistry behind the superstition.

Twenty different experiments and tricks were played during the workshop while Ms. Nandini Jadhav and Milind Deshmukh both explained how to present these experiments to people and try to fade the belief on false magics played by babas and sadhoos. They also encouraged the participants to come forward to eradicate the wrong beliefs and superstitions of people.
