The PG Department of Microbiology, GEMS Arts and Science College, organized a Monsoon Awareness Program titled “Be Heroes in Monsoon” as part of its community outreach. Aimed at educating school children about health issues during the rainy season, the event began with the official release of an informative, child-friendly pamphlet by the Principal. It covered personal hygiene, waterborne and vector-borne disease prevention, and safe food and water practices.
UG and PG Microbiology students visited ALP School, Pathiramanna, where they conducted interactive sessions using visual aids and simple demonstrations to effectively communicate key messages. Students actively participated, making the sessions both fun and educational.
Pamphlets were distributed to all children, reinforcing the lessons shared. The event allowed college students to apply theoretical knowledge practically, enhancing their communication and outreach skills. The program successfully promoted health awareness and was well-received by both school authorities and students, marking it as a commendable initiative.
