NSS Volunteers Conduct Dental Camp and Digital Literacy Drive in Aratlakota - 08.12.2025

On the fifth day of the NSS Unit I Special Camp, the NSS volunteers of SPACES Degree College(A), organized a comprehensive dental health camp in Aratlakota village on 8th December 2025. The initiative was carried out with the support of Dr. S. Pooja Santoshi and Lakshminarayana Dental Care Hospital, who provided dental check-ups and treatment advice to villagers suffering from oral health issues. As part of the service activity, free toothpaste was distributed to encourage better dental hygiene among the community.

The NSS volunteers played a significant and active role in ensuring the success of the camp. They assisted the medical team in managing the crowd, guiding villagers through the check-up process, maintaining records, and creating a comfortable environment for patients. Volunteers also spent time interacting with villagers, spreading messages about the importance of maintaining oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.

In addition to the medical outreach, the volunteers conducted an impactful digital literacy awareness campaign. Going door to door, they explained essential online safety practices, highlighting the growing risks of digital arrest scams, fraudulent calls, and misuse of OTPs. Volunteers educated villagers on how to identify suspicious messages, secure their personal information, and responsibly use mobile banking and online services.

The program received strong support from Village Sarpanch P. Appalanarasa, Vemula Venkateswara Rao, village elders, and NSS Program Officers P. Bhaskara Rao and G.T. Naidu, who appreciated the dedication and community-oriented efforts of the volunteers.
