These measures are designed to reduce stress levels, improve academic performance, and enhance the overall quality of life for students and staff.

Regular events such as sports festivals, tournaments, and internal championships are organized, involving both students and staff. In addition, sustainable sports communities are formed, bringing participants together for activities such as volleyball, basketball, tennis, and other sports. These initiatives contribute to strengthening physical health, fostering teamwork, and building a strong corporate culture.
The educational and awareness component of SDG 3 is implemented through lectures, training sessions, and information campaigns aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles, disease prevention, and the development of self-regulation and stress management skills.
