In a proactive move to curb the menace of Aedes mosquitoes and promote public health awareness, Balurghat Girls' High School organized a vibrant rally and cleanliness drive today. Conducted under the directives of the Samagra Shiksha Mission, the campaign saw enthusiastic participation from a large number of students and teachers, who came together to spread important health messages across the town.
The awareness march covered key stretches of the locality, focusing on Ward No. 13 and its adjoining areas. As part of the drive, students inspected cleanliness conditions around various shops in the busy Chak Bhrigu market area.
Interacting directly with local shopkeepers and pedestrians, the young campaigners explained the symptoms, modes of transmission, and preventive measures associated with dengue and other vector-borne diseases. They urged everyone to eliminate stagnant water and keep their surroundings clean.
Addressing the students during the event, the officiating Headmistress of the school, Mahua Chowdhury, emphasized the intrinsic link between personal well-being and national progress. She noted that, to realize the vision of a 'Viksit Bharat' by 2047, every citizen must first prioritize their health and holistic development, enabling them to actively contribute to the growth of society and the nation at large.
The initiative gained further momentum with the presence of Banibrata Das, District Education Officer of the Samagra Shiksha Mission, South Dinajpur, and Rahul Sankar Shet, Sub-Inspector of Schools (Balurghat West Circle). The campaign was further strengthened by the active support of the South Dinajpur District Health Department and the District Police Administration.
