Awareness on Wheels

Inauguration of an Awareness Vehicle

 

On June 26, 2025, a special awareness vehicle was inaugurated from MR Bangur Hospital, marking a significant step toward community-based health education. This initiative was launched in collaboration with the Ma Foundation and Afflatus Foundation, with the presence of key faculty members Dr. Amit Basu and Dr. Susmita Chattopadhyay.

 

The vehicle is outfitted with state-of-the-art equipment, including a projector, microphone, and an array of educational leaflets designed to disseminate critical information on menstrual health, child marriage, and teenage pregnancy. It will travel through the remote interiors of the state, bringing much-needed awareness to underserved populations.

 

The event saw participation from a range of stakeholders, including representatives from the West Bengal Commission for Protection of Child Rights (WBCPCR), the Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) of South 24 Parganas, and Block Medical Officers of Health (BMOHs) from various regions. The initiative reflects a strong multi-sectoral commitment to grassroots health education.
