Physiotherapy Camp organised on World Food Day by TMU

By Department of Physiotherapy

Health and well-being are fundamental aspects of any community, and the Department of Physiotherapy at Teerthanker Mahaveer University, one of the best universities in India, took a significant step in this direction. On the occasion of World Food Day, a physiotherapy camp was organised at Bhandri Village, Moradabad. Let's delve into the details of this impactful event.

Event Details

Bhandri Village, nestled in the heart of Moradabad, became the focal point for a health-centric initiative. The choice of a rural setting highlighted the university's commitment to addressing health challenges in areas that often lack access to adequate healthcare resources. Dr. Harish Sharma, Associate Professor, and Dr. Ranjit Tiwari, Assistant Professor, both members of the Department of Physiotherapy, led the charge. Their expertise and dedication played a pivotal role in orchestrating the success of the camp.

Student Involvement

The participation of students from the BPT programme not only added vibrancy to the event but also highlighted the university's focus on grooming future healthcare professionals. Involving students in such practical endeavours fostered a sense of responsibility and community engagement. A highlight of the event was the nukkad natak, a street play addressing the crucial topic of healthy nutrition in growing children. The interactive and theatrical approach effectively conveyed essential messages about the significance of a balanced diet.

The Awareness Campaign

The outreach extended beyond the school premises, with a dedicated door-to-door awareness campaign. Special attention was given to educating females in the village on various aspects, including nutritional hygiene, food safety, and the prevention of malnutrition and anemia. The awareness campaign covered a spectrum of topics vital for community health. From imparting knowledge about nutritional hygiene to detailing symptoms and prevention of malnutrition and anemia, the campaign aimed at creating a holistic understanding of health-related issues. The camp culminated with a therapeutic session addressing musculoskeletal conditions at the Panchayat Bhawan. This hands-on approach not only provided immediate relief to individuals but also showcased the practical application of physiotherapy in community health.

Impact on the Community

The success of such endeavours lies in their impact on the community. The positive feedback received from the villagers and the visible awareness created indicated that the camp had achieved its objectives. This event was not just a one-time occurrence but a catalyst for sustained health awareness. Teerthanker Mahaveer University's proactive role in community health reflected the broader responsibility of educational institutions. By involving students in such initiatives, universities contribute not only to academic growth but also to the overall welfare of society.

Future Plans and Sustainability

The impact created by this physiotherapy camp was a stepping stone for future initiatives. The university envisioned a sustained effort to address health challenges in rural areas. Plans for future camps and ongoing awareness programmes are already in the pipeline. The physiotherapy camp on World Food Day at Bhandri Village exemplified the transformative power of community health initiatives. Through a multifaceted approach, the event not only addressed immediate health concerns but also laid the groundwork for a healthier, more aware community.
