Century Pai Foundation recently organized its second free medical check-up camp for the villagers of Channahalli in Karnataka that it adopted for a period of 15 months as part of its corporate social responsibility for the period 2018-2019. The medical camp saw more than 500 villagers participating and receiving free medical diagnosis and care from expert medical practitioners. Specialists like physicians, orthopedics, gynecologists, ENT, dermatologists, pediatricians, dentists, ophthalmologists and a psychiatrist rendered their services at the camp.

Ms. Vidya Pai, Trustee, Century Pai Foundation said, “Our Foundation is committed to improving the overall infrastructure of Channahalli. Our aim is to make healthcare accessible to the economically weaker sections, create awareness on preventive healthcare and safe drinking water, and provide exposure to students by providing a platform for science tours and exhibitions. We will continue to contribute to the sustainability of these communities.” 

The villagers underwent BP and sugar tests, ECG, dental check-ups, tests by various specialists like gynecologist, orthopedics, and were given free consultations and medicines. Century Pai Foundation also distributed free medicines prescribed by the doctors like medicines for fever, pain killers, multi vitamin tablets, iron, calcium and pain relief ointments. Volunteers from Century Real Estate who lent a helping hand at the camp also planted trees as part of the social forestry programme at the village. 

In addition to the medical camp, the Foundation also organised “Vigyanothsava”, a first-of-its-kind science exhibition that was held as part of Children’s day celebrations. The students along with teachers created science models and fact boards from textbooks and presented the same to students from surrounding schools, visiting government officials, gram panchayat members, and the entire village. 

The students created models of solar system, sensory organs, working models of circuits, lights, volcano eruptions, and demonstrated the importance of social forestry, biodiversity and nutritional benefits of fruits and vegetables. As part of the science exposure, students and teachers also visited Visvesvaraya Industrial and Technological Museum (VITM), Jawaharlal Nehru Planetarium. 

The Foundation adopted Channahalli village in Chikkajala, Karnataka, since March 2018 to improve the physical infrastructure and socio-economic conditions of the community. It has been actively forging community interventions with a focus on secondary education, adult literacy, health, environment, civic amenities and financial empowerment.  Source: Businesswire
