Social
Activism
We do not hesitate to take up
issues, which demand public attention affecting the state of the
community.
A few of these are identified for being included in the awareness
programmes and pursued with resolve.
For instance the tobacco chewing habit so prevalent among the youth with
derogatory affect on health was discouraged and chastised with
data on its health hazards. Within a year this village has seen a
great change with none to be in this habit anymore. Similarly we backed
the case by medical fraternity for iodised common salt in fair price
retail shops in rural areas. Campaign against alcoholism is included in
all our community health forums. Any aspects of consumer culture which
make the community vulnerable are taken up for deliberation.
