World Malaria Day, observed on 25th April every year, is a global event aimed at raising awareness and rallying support in the fight against malaria, a preventable and treatable disease that still claims hundreds of thousands of lives every year.
The theme for World Malaria Day 2023 is "Time to deliver zero malaria: invest, innovate, implement". Investing in malaria prevention and control is critical to achieving this goal. This involves providing effective and affordable treatments, scaling up the distribution of insecticide-treated bed nets, and increasing funding for research and development of new tools and technologies.

The Guest of Honour at the session was Padmashri Jadav Payeng, the Forest Man of India. The session was chaired by Honorable Dean of Studies, Prof. Bandana Dutta, Honorable Chancellor, Dr. N.N Dutta, Honorable VC, Prof. N.C Talukdar, and Prof. L.N Kakati, Dean Faculty of Science.
