| Project Description |
- Project 1 : This project focuses on finding the most effective way to treat children suffering from Scrub typhus, a serious infection caused by tiny mites. By testing whether a combination of two medicines works better than just using one, the research into community health aims to help children recover faster and prevent dangerous complications.

The goal is to provide a better treatment for our national pediatric standards by proving which antibiotic therapy is truly the best, helping the whole community enjoy a more stable and healthy future.
- Project 2 : This project focuses on finding the safest and most effective way to help children who are very sick with Dengue Shock Syndrome. By testing a special balanced fluid called Plasmalyte against the usual hospital fluids, the research into community health aims to help children recover faster from severe dehydration and shock. This project is funded by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) [IIRP-2023-3274] to ensure that our nation's children receive the best possible care during medical emergencies. The goal is to provide a better treatment for our national pediatric standards by identifying the best fluids to save lives, helping the whole community enjoy a more stable and healthy future.
