Community Health Education

Motiwala (National) Homoeopathic Medical College, Nashik, Maharashtra has adopted 5 Villages under National level program- ‘Unnat Bharat Abhiyan’. The objective of this ‘Abhiyan’ is to enable the higher educational institutions to work with the people of Rural India in identifying the challenges in development and to find out appropriate solutions for their growth. Being a Homoeopathic Medical College we can identify their overall health problems and other health related issues like hygiene of self & surrounding. Hence we performed a survey in random 36 houses of this village. Objectives: To identify health and hygiene related issues in the adopted Village- Mahadevapur. Methodology: A descriptive health survey of Mahadevapur village of Nashik district, Maharashtra. A Google form was created based on self-made questioner, to identify the problem. Conclusion: Diagnosing or treating a person for a disease will treat him for a day, but educating him or her in healthy dietary life styles treats him or her for a life time.
