Dainik Bhaskar Group-The leading newspaper group of India-has raised the issue of Kalpana Chawla medical College through its columns very loudly.

Villagers also appreciated the whole initiative and asked for such camps in future as well. Around 60 patients visited and availed benefits of the camp. The benefits were clearly visible. 18 out of 25 patients, who were tested for diabetics, found positive. The worse thing was that very few of them were aware of the level and seriousness of the consequences of the high blood sugar. Dr. Mukesh Aggarwal then make them aware of harmful effects of the disease and the lifestyle to control that.
Training Workshop
Training is the key to success. If a person is not adequately trained, he may get success. But will that have an everlasting effect. That is a big question.
To remove this question, to equip our position-holders with complete tools and to maximize the result through proper utilization of the manpower, Bharat Vikas Parishad organized a training camp in Karnal at Khalsa College. It was a nice initiative and made all the position-holders aware of their roles and responsibilities.
