A dengue prevention activity, dry day observed for mosquito control was jointly conducted by the departments of Kayachikitsa and Swasthavrutha, RK University on 7th August and 14th August with the aim of reducing mosquito breeding grounds by eliminating stagnant water sources and thereby minimising the incidence of dengue and other mosquito borne diseases.

On 7th August a thorough inspection of the entire RK University campus was carried out during which potential mosquito breeding sites were identified and destroyed. A team of ACH final year student volunteers actively participated in the activity under the guidance of Dr Shreekant Mundada, Dr Nimmi, Dr Aswathy Dev S and Dr Seema Kushwaha.

On 14th August, a follow up inspection of the previously identified sites was conducted to ensure that there was no recurrence of water stagnation and that the cleared sites remained clean and free from potential mosquito breeding.

The activity helped promote a clean and healthy campus environment and reinforced importance of preventive measures against dengue and other mosquito borne diseases
