The coastal shoreline of Udupi district is filled with waste and garbage of various kinds. An initiative “Chaitanya”, which means ‘energy’ or ‘enthusiasm’, was planned to clean the beach for a healthy environment, which would inculcate the young budding generation on preserving a clean and neat environment and thus treasure the clean and healthy nature along with experiencing the joy of cleaning. Around 25 Post Graduate Nursing students and 5 faculty members of MCON participated enthusiastically in this initiative. The program was coordinated by Dr. Sonia R.B D’Souza, Dr. Binil V, coordinators, PG program and Dr. Latha T, VSO coordinator.
