With monsoon season approaching, the MCDA unveiled a new initiative on February 26 to create an emergency medicine stockpile for Mandsaur. Ten member chemists have pledged to store extra supplies of antipyretics, antidiarrheals, and flood-related essentials. “Last year’s shortages taught us to prepare,” said Vice President Sanjay Verma. The reserve will be centralized at MCDA’s office by March 15. Volunteers and donors can reach out at emergency@mcda.org.
