Social Responsibility and Community Engagement
The college's focus on social responsibility strengthens community engagement and encourages collective action for socioeconomic development. By involving students and staff in community projects, MRDCW fosters a sense of civic duty and promotes a collaborative approach to addressing social challenges.

Education and Scholarship Programs
MRDCW promotes education as a tool for socioeconomic development. The college's scholarship programs for underprivileged girls reduce financial barriers to education, empowering them to pursue higher education and professional careers. Through school collaborations and community education programs, MRDCW fosters a culture of learning that benefits the entire community.

Root Canal Awareness Program ("Save Your Tooth")
Root Canal Awareness Program was done on the occasion of cons-endo day and was awarded by Indian Association of Conservative dentistry and Endodontics (IACDE) for the same. Purpose of the program: MRDCW launched a "Save Your Tooth" program to explain the benefits of root canal treatment. The college held seminars where expert dental professionals (endodontists) explained the process, emphasizing that root canal treatment is often a better alternative to tooth extraction and pain relief procedure. As part of this program, MRDCW tackled common misconceptions about root canals, addressing concerns about pain and discomfort. The college shared testimonials from patients who had undergone successful root canal treatments to reassure those who might be apprehensive. The awareness program encouraged preventive measures to avoid root canals, such as regular dental check-ups and proper oral hygiene practices. MRDCW's campaign also emphasized early intervention when dental problems arise.
Trauma Awareness Campaign
This is celebrated to raise awareness regarding increasing prevalence of trauma and the role of effective care. Emphasis is laid on taking a few preventive measures like wearing a helmet, to lessen the risk of such injuries, especially the timely measures that help quicker recovery and a better prognosis. With this objective, we conducted a trauma awareness program and all students and faculty participated in a bike rally to educate the public in this regard.
Hepatitis Vaccination Campaign
As infectious diseases pose a serious threat for dental teams particularly because of working in close proximity to patients and results in exposure to many body fluids and aerosols, immunisation reduces the risk of contracting such infectious diseases and strengthens body's natural defences providing protection. We, at Malla Reddy dental college for women, conduct hepatitis vaccination for the students- both UGs and PGs every year, thereby offering safety to all the budding dentists.

No Tobacco Day and No smoking day
No Tobacco Day is observed worldwide on May 31st every year to raise awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco use and to advocate for policies that reduce tobacco consumption. At Malla Reddy Dental College for Women, we organized a series of events to mark this important occasion, including a rally, skit performance, and poster making competition, inviting students to showcase their artistic talents while promoting the theme of No Tobacco Day.

The day commenced with a rally led by students and faculty members, carrying banners and posters with messages against tobacco use- aimed to raise awareness among the public about the adverse health effects of tobacco and the importance of adopting a tobacco-free lifestyle. Following the rally, a thought-provoking skit was performed by students highlighting the various health hazards associated with tobacco use. The skit portrayed real-life scenarios depicting the detrimental effects of tobacco on oral health, respiratory system, and overall well-being. Through compelling storytelling and acting, the performers effectively conveyed the message of the importance of tobacco cessation and the benefits of leading a tobacco-free life. The skit received an enthusiastic response from the audience and succeeded in delivering its intended message.

HEALTH AND HYGIENE AWARENESS

These campaigns targeted different age groups, from children to adults, ensuring a broad reach. Free dental health camps in local communities Though we have witnessed a significant improvement in health over the past few years, the distribution of the services has been unequal, with most of them focussed on urban population. Hence, we target to address the oral health issues of the rural population and school children, through our outreach programs. Our mobile dental bus has two completely functional dental chairs with basic facilities and in the meantime, patients waiting for their turn are motivated through educational videos on the television.
