The NSS unit of our SCAD Polytechnic College plays a vital role in creating awareness among our students about various issues related to present life. The NSS incharge along with government officials conduct awareness programmes for students. Today (26/09/2023), an awareness programme on EYE camp was conducted at our college. The event was conducted to create an awareness about the prime purpose of conducting eye camps is to provide high volume, high quality and low cost eye care service to the rural population of the target area, through mobile camp approach that are accessible, affordable and appropriate. Since Cataract being the leading cause of blindness the focus of our camps is with identifying and treating cases with cataract. The service also includes providing correction for refractive errors, treating diseases like ulcers, and referring patients to the base hospital who need institutional investigations and management (patients with Glaucoma, Retinopathy, etc). Students from our college participated in this event and it was led by the NSS unit incharge of our college, Mr. Sankar, Lect/Maths.
