Stop Diarrhea campaign
Druing these summer days there is apprehension of outbreak of Diarrhea especially in the rural areas of Jammu and Kashmir.
Recently Stop Diarrhea campaign gains momentum in J&K, awareness drives conducted across Districts.
These efforts are part of the ongoing campaign under the Swachh Bharat Mission-Gramin (SBM-G), aiming to reduce diarrhea cases, improve public health, and alleviate the financial burden of medical bills on families.
The campaign, spearheaded by the Directorate of Rural Sanitation, Department of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj J&K, under the supervision of Secretary RD&PR, Dr. Shahid Iqbal Choudhary has involved special awareness and Information, Education, and Communication (IEC) drives.
These initiatives have engaged school-going children, senior citizens, social workers, SHGs, former PRI members, Block Development Officers (BDOs), and field staff, ensuring the widespread dissemination of crucial health information.
Interactive sessions were held in schools to educate children about the importance of hand washing, safe drinking water, and proper sanitation practices. BDOs and field staff have been instrumental in mobilizing communities, conducting door-to-door awareness drives, distributing educational materials, and engaging with residents on preventive measures.
