These are also to make the people more health conscious and relieve them of their ailments.”
The camp was also conducted by the University as a part of its social responsibility activities. A team of more than 12 Para-Medical staff members rendered their services. For all those who attended the medical camp, the prescribed medicines were also given at very subsidized rates. About 280 persons attended the camp. Ms. Mittal also added: “It is a well known fact that only strong body keeps a strong mind. So, LPU’s such initiatives and activities mainly focus on the students and Employees health. As such the Department runs regular health oriented camps to provide medical care and medicines at very subsidized rates. In addition to this, such Medical Camps are also arranged in the nearby villages and areas, free or at very nominal rates, for the benefit of the people who cannot afford. These are also to make the people more health conscious and relieve them of their ailments.”
