Kashijora Village Unit : Last month

Here is a glimpse of the month as it was for Kashijora Village Unit (Unit 13) since the academic session began in third week of July at IIT Kharagpur. Besides regular activity of engaging with village primary school students, the unit carried out a drawing competition to encourage talents among village kids, a special on games like Kho-Kho and Kabadi, a colourful awareness rally with posters and slogans where village school kids and young students of IIT Kharagpur walked together. The theme of the rally was health and hygiene. The posters and slogans depicted the importance of administering polio drops, the need for abstaining from intake of alcohol, smoking, consuming tobacco and the issue of prevention of spread of mosquito related diseases by the simple use of a mosquito net. The dengue fever and other diseases are prevalent during this monsoon time.

The Unit participated in enthusiastically in Independence Day function (Link) and had their representation in Institute Foundation Day function. Preparation of nukkad (street corner) to further the awareness campaign is going on. A survey is going on to look into quality of drinking water and possibility of rain water harvesting.
