Event Content

The Department of Community Medicine, AIMS, in collaboration with CHC Bellur and the NSS AIMS Unit, conducted an awareness program on vector-borne disease control at ALK Government PU College, Bellur on 28th January 2025. The program aimed to educate students on mosquito-borne diseases, their transmission, symptoms, and preventive measures.

Dr. Kanchana N. Raj, Junior Resident, Department of Community Medicine, was the speaker for the session. Faculty members from the Department of Community Medicine, AIMS, staff from CHC Bellur, and teachers from the PU College were present.

The session began with an introductory briefing on the importance of vector control in public health. Dr. Kanchana explained the mosquito life cycle, common vector-borne diseases such as malaria, dengue, Chikungunya, and filariasis, along with their symptoms and prevention strategies. The emphasis was placed on environmental management, personal protection, and community participation in mosquito control measures.

To ensure active engagement, students were asked to create short videos (2-4 minutes) summarizing their understanding of the session. This interactive approach helped reinforce key concepts and encouraged students to think critically about the topic.

The program was well-received, with active participation from students and faculty members. The initiative successfully raised awareness and motivated students to take preventive measures against vector-borne diseases in their communities.
