The Dengue
Awareness Program was conducted on 31st January 2015 in our
college premises. An awareness program
is started with a meeting of students and teachers. More than 100 students and
faculty members assembled in the hall. The walls of the hall were pasted with
posters of Dengue Awareness. 
The meeting started with the demonstration of the causes
and warning signs of Dengue illness by Mrs.P.Pratheeba, Assistant Professor,
Department of Zoology. She also gave a stepwise
approach to the management of Dengue and preventive measures and
controls of breeding of Aedes mosquitoes which spreads Dengue. 
The Dengue Awareness films were shown to the
students which illustrated the sources and measures to control the Dengue
illness.
The students with Principal and staff took the
health pledge to take steps to eradicate the dengue fever completely.
The students and staff moved around the whole campus
to verify whether there are any potential breeding areas of mosquitoes like unused
sumps and GLR inside the campus. All stagnant possible sources for stagnant water
like tires, plastic cups, coconut shells, plastic bottles, broken pots etc were
removed from the college premises and surroundings.
All unwanted containers and waste materials lying in
the college premises were removed. Such materials were loaded on to the garbage
collection vehicle. They sealed the cement tanks with plates to prevent
mosquito breeding. The water
storage containers were thoroughly washed with bleaching powder and brush. Water
chlorination were also take place to avoid breeding of mosquitoes in the syntex
tanks.
