The initiative was taken up by the NSS Unit of JSS Medical College, Mysuru to organize a health awareness programme for school students at Ramapura. Ramapura is a village in Southern Karnataka, located in the Hanur taluk of Chamarajnagara district which is around 110 kms away from Mysore. On 13th March 2020, the NSS unit reached the JSS High School, Ramapura at around 9:30 a.m. It was a beautiful place with a huge campus and playground. The NSS unit of JSSMC was headed by Dr. Bharath T., along with 3 NSS MBBS undergraduate volunteers – Ms. Simran Saluja, Mr. Mohamed Khasim and Ms. Tanuja K N. The Headmaster of the school, Mr. Nataraja and the students welcomed us wholeheartedly and extended their support and cooperation. The NSS Unit conducted this health awareness programme for around 150 high school students on 2 important topics. Firstly, the students were educated and awareness was created about a very important disease that has been declared as a Pandemic by WHO- Corona virus disease. Dr. Bharath and volunteers talked about the risk factors, high risk areas, symptoms, signs, diagnosis, treatment, complications, busting the myths created on social media and most importantly the methods of prevention and precautions to be taken to safeguard oneself. They were made aware about the importance of using masks, the people at high risk who require the use of masks and that not everybody needs to wear a mask. They were also told that panic will not help in any way ,but being aware of the problem, taking up the responsibility of creating awareness to peers and other family members to tackle the situation, approaching the healthcare providers and hospitals in case of any suspicion, is the key to control such a pandemic. Secondly, the students were taught about hand hygiene, its importance and the steps of proper hand washing. The volunteers used a poem written by Dr. Sumana, Professor of Microbiology in lines of a popular poem taught in schools in order to create interest and help them remember the steps of proper hand washing. The programme continued till around 10:30 a.m. followed by questions and answers session for the students and teachers to clarify any doubts. The students enthusiastically participated in this discussion and asked their queries. The Headmaster of the school thanked the NSS unit for organizing and conducting these activities. The NSS unit of JSSMC was also very thankful and overwhelmed by the great feedback and appreciation provided by the staff and students of the school.
