An educated person is an asset for any country. In today’s world, human capital is considered the best national resource. On one hand, he can explore better opportunities for himself, and on the other hand, the entire nation would get benefited from his works.

Education produces citizens who are men of intellectual and moral integrity, who are neither fanatical nor cynical, but are public-spirited, tolerant and wise.

Chikungunya is an emerging, epidemic-prone, vector-borne disease. Socioeconomic factors and inadequacies in public health that facilitated the spread of this infection in the past continue to exist. Environmental factors and community behaviours play a significant role in the outbreak and spread of chikungunya. Heavy rains followed by stagnation of rain water in flower pots, broken and abandoned pots and utensils in and around the houses, abandoned vehicular tyres in the vicinity of human dwellings or workplaces or in any other container that allows accumulation and stagnation of water promote the breeding of mosquitoes of the Aedes family.

Villagers are more prone to get affected with this disease as they are not aware of its causes and complications. As a part, a free chikungunya awareness camp was held at Anekal by our Foundation. Awareness speech regarding chikungunya, its complications, symptoms, way of prevention and management etc. were given by eminent Ayurvedic scholars.
