Radiation refers to tiny, invisible or high speed particles or high energy electromagnetic wave energy that passes from one location to another. Radiation is considered to be a boon and a bane to humanity. Although it is a valuable asset to health care and other industries, its harmful effect on human lives cannot be ignored.

To address the lack of awareness about radiation and its potential hazards, the NSS unit of JSS Medical College, Mysuru conducted an awareness programme in JSS Pre-University College, Bannimantap, Mysuru on 23 November 2021. With around 8 volunteers taking part in it, the programme was conducted in 4 sessions to educate over 60 students about both pros and cons of radiation and letting them decide the judicial way of usage. It was done through the medium of skit presentation.

The programme was conducted in the honored presence Dr. Bharath T (NSS Programme Officer, JSS Medical College) and Dr. Ravishankar (Assistant NSS Programme Officer, JSS Medical College), who added to the success of the programme through their valuable inputs. The programme ended with the demonstration of a 3 step drill that students should follow in case of a radiation accident.
