Abstract: Our goal is to increase national awareness about dengue. The increasing number of dengue cases affects males, women, and individuals of all ages. This study aims to determine the awareness levels, familiarity with linked health issues, and understanding of the current dengue-related situation in the country among university students. As part of the methodology, this study included a larger number of students from Bangladesh's tertiary education system. Twenty-four questionnaires were provided to randomly selected students from a variety of areas (e.g., Pharmacy, LLB, Microbiology, Civil, EEE, English, MBA, etc.). Data was collected anonymously from 206 different people. Students from Stamford University Bangladesh made up the bulk of the participants, with the remainder students coming from universities like as North South University, East West University, Titumir Girls' College, Siddeshwari Girls' College, University of Asia Pacific, etc. According to the results of our poll, over 62% of pupils have dengue. Here, we discovered that because of their unhygienic practices, 41% of the population is coping with this sickness. Additionally, some people were found to be ignorant of Bangladesh's public health system. We may plan public awareness campaigns and lectures, especially for students. We could take action to maintain a clean environment. In this aspect, the government has to exercise more prudence. They should provide medicine and bug repellent for our safety. We might provide assistance to those who are already suffering from severe dengue and educate others who are not yet afflicted about the need of staying away from dengue mosquitoes.
