NEW DELHI: The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC), on August 27, organized an awareness programme on vector-borne diseases in which at least 200 students from 75 government and private schools participated. Rashmi Singh, NDMC secretary, urged students to participate and put in their efforts to spread awareness. She emphasized on the significance of their role to help prevent the diseases.
“Schoolchildren might play a vital role as a social ambassador in disseminating the message pertaining to prevention and control of vector-borne diseases like dengue, malaria and chikungunya in the society. They are capable of convincing people to keep their habitat and surroundings clean,” the secretary said.
Singh further said that issue of vector-borne diseases might not be solved alone by the municipal council or any other civic body, but people from every segment of the society need participate with us in the campaign.
