Name : A brief report on the Blanket Distribution Program under” Village Adoption Programme”
Date : 04-01-2021
Venue : Shafipur Village
Village adoption programme aims to connect institution of higher education with local communities to address the development challenges through appropriate technologies. As per the article published by Madhimitha Jagmohan research experts covering environmental climate sustainability dated 16 November 2020 revealed that exposure to cold led to over 750 deaths across India in 2018, an increase from the previous year. The highest number of deaths during the last decade across the country due to cold exposure occurred in 2010. People usually say that thousands of people die of cold, but we say that they die due to lack of woolen clothes and blankets. Poor and helpless people sleep in rags at footpath and roadside and die of cold. These poor people sleep close to each other during cold waves but how one can sleep sound without blanket or quilt in such conditions. They shiver due to cold breeze all the night and some old age persons die of these waves.
Keeping this point of view Metro College of Health Sciences & Research , College of Nursing, Greater Noida has organized Blanket distribution Programme under the ”Village adoption Programme” among needy residence of Shafipur Village on 04/01/21. This programme was attended by Dr Kanak lata Director MCHSR, Dr Lalwani, Principal Metro College of Pharmacy , Mr U.K.Koul, Senior Administrator MCHSR, Mr Devender Administrator MCHSR, Mr Gaurav HR MCHSR, Mr Muzaffar Makrani, Mrs Ranjitha and Mrs Rachna faculty members of Metro college of Nursing, Ms Jyoti Chandra faculty Metro college of Pharmacy, nursing and pharmacy students. 56 blankets were distributed among 53 families.
