Fabrics when in mist state are exposed to fungi. The fungi development can be seen using foldscope. fungi damages and ruptures the fiber structure thus leading to weakening of fibers.

In Dayalbagh Educational Institute, we have a compulsory half-course to be taken up by first year undergraduate students. The half-course is an interdisciplinary course, which can be opted from any other department other than your own. Foldscope workshop was conducted in the Environmental Sciences class which is a half-course attended by students from a wide range of streams.
The workshop was aimed to show the microbes that reside on your clothing, body parts and explain the personal hygienic practices with emphasis on menstrual hygiene.
