Health Awareness Camp Organised at Gauhati University to Promote Healthy, Addiction-Free Lifestyle

A health-focused initiative aimed at encouraging young people to make healthier choices was organised at Gauhati University as part of the ‘Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat’ campaign.

The Gauhati University Campus NSS Unit conducted the ‘Mera Swasthya, Mera Garv’ health awareness camp with support from the State Health Department/Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) and Peerless Hospital, Guwahati.

The programme sought to create greater awareness among students and young people about personal health, preventive care and the importance of maintaining a healthy and addiction-free lifestyle.

As part of the camp, participants were provided with general health check-ups and opportunities to seek medical advice. Health-related guidance was also shared to help participants better understand the importance of taking care of their health and preventing illnesses through appropriate lifestyle practices.

The organisers also used the initiative to highlight the role of preventive healthcare. Participants were encouraged to remain attentive to their physical well-being and understand the importance of healthy habits in maintaining a better quality of life.

The event was organised under the broader ‘Nasha Mukt Yuva for Viksit Bharat’ campaign, which focuses on engaging young people in efforts to promote healthier and addiction-free communities.

Gauhati University said the health camp was successfully conducted with the collaboration of the participating health agencies and Peerless Hospital. The initiative brought together health awareness, medical consultation and preventive healthcare guidance in a campus-based programme focused on the well-being of young people.

The university shared details of the programme through its official social media account on September 28, highlighting the importance of health consciousness and a healthy lifestyle among the youth.

With educational institutions playing an important role in shaping healthy habits among young people, initiatives such as the health awareness camp provide an opportunity to combine medical guidance with awareness about disease prevention and responsible lifestyle choices.
