The department of Public health dentistry in collaboration with the Unnat Bharat Abhiyan scheme aims to increase awareness and educate the rural population regarding general and oral health and hygiene measures.
Under the UBA the Department will adopt 5 villages and will take care of their upliftment by conducting outreach activities in these 5 villages at regular intervals of time. These activities will include programmes focusing on general and oral health of the Individual. At the same time, under the programme the department will include any other activity found essential for these villages, as analysed during the initial and on-going interaction with the people. This programme will also benefit the students posted in the department as they will be directly involved in the conduction of these out-reach activities.
