Health camp: 320 students examined in Nurpur college

Under the Central Government’s Poshan Abhiyan, a medical camp was organised in Wazir Ram Singh Pathania Government College, Dehri, on Monday. A medical team from Fatehpur Health Block examined as many as 320 students during the camp, in which a number of girl students were found anaemic.

On this occasion, the Health Department organised a presentation competition on topics like prevention of HIV-AIDS, drug abuse and the importance of a balanced diet. Sameer, Hiya and Akshita secured the first, second and third position, respectively.

Block Medical Officer Dr Satish Fotedar urged the students to eat a balanced diet and maintain their personal hygiene.

College Principal Sachin Kumar said, “National Nutrition Week is an annual campaign being organised by the Government of India to raise awareness about the importance of nutrition and promote healthy eating habits among the students.”

Programme organisers Dr Shivani Sharma and Rekha thanked the Health Department’s team for organising the camp.
