In a significant step towards enhancing road safety in Indore, Malwanchal University, in collaboration with Indore Nagar Nigam and the Traffic Police, launched a comprehensive Traffic Awareness Campaign from January 1st to 25th, 2025, at Vijay Nagar Square. The initiative aimed to educate students and local residents about responsible driving, adherence to traffic rules, and the importance of road safety. Spearheaded by Mr. Pushy Mitra Bhargav, Mayor of Indore Nagar Nigam, and supported by Mr. Mayank Raj Singh Bhadoriya, Vice Chairman of Malwanchal University, the campaign focused on reducing accidents and saving lives through proactive awareness.
As part of the campaign, 30 dedicated students from the Index Department of Physiotherapy and Paramedical Sciences volunteered to serve as Traffic Mitras. These students worked alongside traffic police at key intersections in Vijay Nagar Square, engaging with pedestrians and drivers to spread critical safety messages. Throughout the month, they highlighted the importance of wearing seat belts, helmets, and adhering to traffic signals. They also encouraged responsible parking practices, such as avoiding parking in front of crosswalk lines, to ensure smooth traffic flow and reduce the risk of accidents.
The success of this campaign underscores the vital role educational institutions can play in community safety initiatives. Malwanchal University’s active involvement exemplifies its commitment to public safety and social responsibility. By empowering students to take an active role in spreading awareness, the campaign helped foster a culture of road safety in Indore, contributing to the city’s goal of reducing traffic-related accidents and ensuring safer roads for all.
On January 12, 2025, the Index Department of Paramedical Sciences, Indore, played a pivotal role in the successful blood donation camp organized by Vidyasagar School, Indore. The event, inaugurated by the esteemed Chairman of Vidyasagar School, aimed to encourage voluntary blood donation and raise awareness about its life-saving potential. A total of 12 BMLT Intern students from our department actively participated in the event, contributing significantly to its success and highlighting the importance of community involvement in healthcare.
The donation process was meticulously organized, with volunteers first undergoing a registration process to record their personal details and medical history for eligibility assessment. Trained phlebotomists then collected the blood using sterile and safe techniques. Our students from the IDOPT program efficiently assisted throughout the process, ensuring everything was conducted with the highest standards of professionalism. After donating, volunteers were provided with refreshments and ample time to rest in the post-donation area, ensuring their recovery. In total, 55 blood donations were made during the camp, all of which were successfully collected by our students.
This blood donation camp not only helped in collecting life-saving blood units but also demonstrated the importance of social responsibility in healthcare. Initiatives like these play a crucial role in ensuring a consistent and reliable blood supply for hospitals and healthcare facilities, especially in times of crisis. We express our heartfelt gratitude to all the participants, volunteers, and the honorable Chairman for their support in making this event a success. The Index Department of Paramedical Sciences is proud to have contributed to this noble cause, reinforcing our commitment to community health and welfare.
On 14th February 2025, the Index Department of Physiotherapy and Paramedical Sciences at Malwanchal University organized the Har Chouraha Bijli Bachao Awareness Program, a crucial initiative aimed at promoting electricity conservation in Indore.
