program conducted student health and hygiene camps in four Coimbatore schools, reaching<br />

987 students and 32 teachers.<br />

camp at Alandurai School. 33 NSS students from Alandurai School volunteered in the multispecialty<br />

camp, which was held in conjunction with Apollo Hospitals.<br />

During the year, we also conducted free camps to identify student blood-types to include in<br />

student records. The Coimbatore camps, sponsored by <strong>Isha</strong> Yoga Center‟s local welfare<br />

department and conducted by the <strong>Isha</strong> Rural Health Clinic in Alandurai, reached 685<br />

students from three schools. In Salem, 150 students went through blood-type identification<br />
