The objective of the health camp was to create awareness among the public regarding the causes, prevention and control of Diabetes and Blood Pressure.

Dr. Amit Gupta began his session with recent National and International facts on diabetes and Hypertension.
Dr. Gupta informed the audience that one out of three adults will have high Blood Pressure / Hypertension, but only 21% will be aware about it. There are no symptoms to this disease. Many people have it for years without knowing it. This is why high blood pressure is also called the "silent killer". Uncontrollable high blood pressure can lead to stroke, heart attack, heart failure or kidney failure.
Rtn. Subhash Jain motivated the students to take up social work along with their studies. He asked them to be Techno-friendly but at the same time he asked them to practice physical exercise too.
