Prevention is better than Cure

 With the onset of  monsoon season comes the threat of rise in the number of dengue cases. The Interact Club of M L Khanna DAV Public School, Dwarka organized  Dengue Awareness Campaign to spread consciousness about dengue and promote a safer and healthier learning environment in school.

A plethora of activities was organized to sensitise the students about dengue. Students made placards conveying the message to prevent dengue. A special assembly was organized to spread awareness about the importance of proper environment sanitation in the fight against dengue fever. A speech highlighting the causes, possible breeding sites of dengue mosquito and home remedies to prevent it was presented by interactor Aditya Pande. An interesting presentation by interactors dressed up like an aedes egypti mosquito conveyed the do’s and don’t’s of dengue. Interactor Misthi Gupta recited a self-composed poem on Dengue. A quiz was also conducted to test the awareness level of students on dengue. Prizes were given to the winners.

Dengue Awareness Campaign was also carried out wherein the interactors educated students of Pre-School to Class IV about dengue mosquito. Sites like flower pots with water were deliberately created in the school for the drive. The students guided by the interactors visited those sites wearing masks and gloves. Preventive and self protection measures to ‘Fight the Bite’ were elucidated to the school populace. Kerosene was sprayed by the gardener on the spot to demonstrate ways to kill the dengue mosquito. Students were encouraged to share the information gained on the fatal disease with their classmates and parents. 

Principal Ms Monika Mehan applauded the efforts of the Interact Club and  exhorted the students to foster environmental awareness and keep their environment clean to prevent dengue.
