Manav Rachna organizes anti-tobacco rally

A ‘No Tobacco Rally’ was organized by Manav Rachna Dental College on 31st May, 2016. What better way to mark ‘World No Tobacco Day’ to create awareness about Tobacco’s Harmful Effects. While the world was witnessing sessions over ways to educate people about the harmful effects of tobacco, it was a grand rally in Faridabad that set that the stage for saying ‘no’ to tobacco use.

The Rally started at 9.30AM from B.K. Hospital, Faridabad and ended at the head office of the Manav Rachna Educational Institutions at NH-5. The rally was part of MRDC’s institutional social responsibility in order to create awareness among masses about the harmful effects of tobacco use. The Chief Guest on the occasion was Dr. Gulshan Arora, Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Faridabad and Dr. Asim Das, Principal ESIC Medical College. Also present on the occasion were Dr M.M. Kathuria, Advisor, MREI; Dr N.C. Wadhwa, Vice Chancellor, Manav Rachna International University; Maj. Gen. (Retd) P.N. Awasthi, Advisor, MRDC and Raman Grover, President, Lions Club Lake City.

It is well known fact that more than 6 million people die worldwide every year, due to tobacco consumption. More than 5 million of those deaths are the result of direct tobacco use while more than 600,000 are the result of non-smokers being exposed to second-hand smoke. Another important fact is that Tobacco kills up to half of its users. Highlighting the impact of income on the overall standing of any country, the WHO reports also reveal that nearly 80% of the world’s smokers live in low and middle income countries.

 The rally in course of its sojourn garnered much appreciation even from bystanders. More than 100 students of MREI joined in the initiative as they took to the streets carrying posters and shouting slogans to sensitize people towards the harmful effects of tobacco use and its life threatening effects.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr Gulshan Arora, CMO, said, “The Anti Tobacco Rally being held on this significant day to create awareness against tobacco use is praiseworthy.” He stated further that for every cigarette taken, a person loses 5 minutes of his life! 

Addressing the gathering, Dr. Asim Das, Principal ESIC Medical College, said, “One cigarette is enough to create a stairway to hell. The youth should not only resolve to say ‘no’ to tobacco but also encourage others to give up tobacco for good. This would ensure the creation of a tobacco-free nation.”     

Dr N.C. Wadhwa, Vice Chancellor, MRIU said, “Tobacco use destroys not just an individual but also society as a whole. It is therefore our collective responsibility to fight the menace. Manav Rachna Educational Institutions has been working ceaselessly towards the cause.  It is heartening to see students take up the anti-tobacco cause at the Rally and encourage others to put an end to tobacco use.

A street play was also performed by the students of MRDC students that successfully conveyed the message to make the people aware of the harmful impact of tobacco, in any form.

A DAY WITH DENTAL STUDENTS.....

Clinics and Classes at MRDC can be a heady experience, as Ayushi Bhatia, CS, FET student of MRIU finds out....

I was assigned the task of spending a day with dental students and given my interest in the field, took up the offer instantly. Like all dental students, I woke up early at 6:30 am for this is what a dental student does daily. By 8:00 am, I was at MRDC, for students were barred entry into the class after 8:05 am. There was a system in place and everything was as per schedule. Once inside the class, it was not too difficult to follow the rules.

Sitting in the lecture room surrounded by a good number of dentists, or should I say, upcoming dentists, and wearing those white doctor aprons, gave me a feeling of being a dental student. But the truth lies within, I wasn’t one. The lecture hall was reverberating with new ideas but all of that seemed to be going over my head. I tried to focus, but somehow it was not my cup of tea. The next slot sounded interesting. It was the time for hospital rounds. I joined 3rd year MRDC students on this venture, and found myself at the Asian Hospital for an educational round--education for them and experience for me. We stepped into the dental ward of the hospital. We also attended lectures of the Hospital doctors and treated patients. 

While I wasn’t treating patients (thank God!) but it was quite a pleasant experience watching the budding dentists working as dutiful professionals. The round got over and we moved towards MRDC. After a quick lunch, it was time for clinics. The year is divided into small clinical groups which start from third year and continues right through to final year. The clinical groups become close-knit and are friendly and reassuring, particularly for the daunting experience of seeing your first ever patient in the third year! In the third year clinic, the faculty members keep a watchful eye over the students for fear of mistakes. Next year they are likely to have more freedom. The students are looking forward to making decisions on their own and being in an environment that is more similar to private practice. As mentioned by others, this “typical schedule" is variable from week to week with other small classes thrown in, but it gives you a basic idea. These schedules must be hectic for them as it was exhausting for me but I eventually can’t complain. I enjoyed the day and made the best out of it.
