Sevalaya’s Initiatives on Awareness on Dengue

SEVALAYA’S INITIATIVE ON DENGUE – AWARENESS, PREVENTION AND CURE

Sevalaya is greatly concerned on the outbreak of Dengue that has been plaguing the State widely, causing illness to a large number of people. We are particularly concerned for there are over 2050 students studying in our school, 180  children staying in our hostels and 75 elders are living in our old age homes. Apart from protecting our children and  residents, Sevalaya has taken a larger initiative for creating greater awareness, prevention and possible cure in the event of illness.

While explaining on the symptoms, Team-Sevalaya also mentioned the causes  and various symptoms viz. Head ache, pain on the rear portions of the eyes, vomiting and vomiting sensation, blood bleeding, knee and body pains, among others.

While cautioning on the source of contracting, our medical team alerted the people that it may contract while travelling also. This is one of the many causes, our medical team alerted.

Sevalaya is determined to address this on multi-pronged way and acted swiftly accordingly:

  1. Team-Sevalaya individually contacted all and explained on the cause, preventive methods and cure in the event of Dengue attack.
  2. Preventive:
    1. Fumigation process (a method of pest control)  carried out in the areas of water stagnation, etc.
    2.  Nilavembu  essence (an herb) , one cup a person, given to all, with a suggestion to compulsorily drink. (Nilavembu:  a famous Sidha model  of medicinal cure).
  3. Awareness:  All were repeatedly adviced  on Dos and Donts for prevention.
