World Health Day 2023: Health For All

On 7 April 2023  ̶  World Health Day  ̶  the World Health Organization will observe its 75th birthday.

WHO’s 75th anniversary year is an opportunity to look back at public health successes that have improved quality of life during the last seven decades. It is also an opportunity to motivate action to tackle the health challenges of today  ̶  and tomorrow.

World Autism Awareness Day (WAAD) aims to spread awareness about Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the obstacles that people with ASD face every day. Each year, the day is celebrated on April 2 globally to make people aware of the neurodevelopmental disorder that distorts communication and social interaction skills. 

History and Significance

The United Nations has been working to facilitate the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities ever since its inception. In 2008, the UN announced April 2 to be observed as the World Autism Awareness Day.

The resolution of the UN was passed on November 1, 2007, and it was accepted on December 18, 2007. Since then every year, World Autism Awareness Day has been observed on April 2.

The day is also one of the only seven official health-specific UN Days.

Autistic people face discrimination and challenges that are often not recognised by the world.

The levels of awareness vary dramatically from country to country and it is important to recognise that autistic people are vulnerable to major problems such as pandemics, effects of climate change, cyberbullying, and natural disasters. Thus the World Autism Awareness Day is celebrated to encourage people to raise awareness about ASD and look for ways to improve the lives and wellness of people with ASD.

MITTAR PYARE NU HAAL MUREEDAN DA KEHNA..🌹

ਖਿਆਲ ਪਾਤਸ਼ਾਹੀ ੧੦ਵੀਂ

ਮਿੱਤਰ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਨੂੰ ਹਾਲ ਮੁਰੀਦਾਂ ਦਾ ਕਹਿਣਾ

ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਦਾ ਉਪਰੋਕਤ ਖਿਆਲ (ਮਿੱਤਰ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਨੂੰ ਹਾਲ ਮੁਰੀਦਾਂ ਦਾ ਕਹਿਣਾ) 8-9 ਪੋਹ ਦੀ ਦਰਮਿਆਨੀ ਰਾਤ ਚਮਕੌਰ ਦੀ ਗੜੀ ਛੱਡਣ ਤੋਂ ਬਾਅਦ ਮਾਛੀਵਾੜੇ ਦੇ ਜੰਗਲਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਉਚਾਰਿਆ । ਅਨੰਦਗੜ੍ਹ ਦਾ ਕਿਲ੍ਹਾ ਛੱਡ, ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿੰਘ ਜੀ ਸਾਰਾ ਕੁਝ ਕੁਰਬਾਨ ਕਰ ਜਦ ਮਾਛੀਵਾੜੇ ਆਏ ਤਾਂ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਭਾਰ-ਮੁਕਤ ਹੋ ਉਹ ਮਾਛੀਵਾੜੇ ਦੇ ਜੰਗਲ ਵਿਚ ਗੂਹੜੀ ਨੀਂਦਰ ਸੌਂ ਗਏ। ਉੱਠੇ ਤਾਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਆਪ ਨੂੰ ਹੌਲਾ ਫੁੱਲ ਪ੍ਰਤੀਤ ਕੀਤਾ। ਕੇਵਲ ਸਰੀਰਿਕ ਪੱਖੋਂ ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ, ਸਗੋਂ ਮਾਨਸਿਕ ਪੱਖੋਂ ਵੀ। ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣੇ ਉਹ ਫ਼ਰਜ਼ ਅਦਾ ਹੋ ਗਏ ਜਾਪੇ ਸਨ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਲੈ ਲਏ ਸਨ। ਉਹ ਸਨ, ਦੇਸ਼ ਤੇ ਕੌਮ ਤੋਂ ਸਾਰਾ ਕੁਝ ਨਿਛਾਵਰ ਕਰਨਾ।

ਕਿਸੇ ਉਰਦੂ ਸ਼ਾਇਰ ਨੇ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੀ ਇਸੇ ਮਾਨਸਿਕ ਹਾਲਤ ਦਾ ਵਰਣਨ ਕਰਦੇ ਹੋਏ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਦੇ ਪਵਿੱਤਰ ਮੁੱਖੋਂ ਅਖਵਾਇਆ ਹੈ:

ਅਜ ਮੁਝ੍ਹ ਸੇ ਤੇਰੀ ਅਮਾਨਤ ਅਦਾ ਹੂਈ, 

ਬੇਟੋ ਕੀ ਜਾਨ ਧਰਮ ਕੀ ਖ਼ਾਤਿਰ ਫ਼ਿਦਾ ਹੂਈ।

ਪਰ ਜੋ ਆਪਣੇ ਮਨ ਦੀ ਹਾਲਤ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਨੇ ਆਪ ਆਪਣੇ ਇਸ ਖ਼ਿਆਲ ਵਿਚ ਦੱਸੀ ਹੈ, ਉਹਦਾ ਕੋਈ ਜਵਾਬ ਨਹੀਂ। ਉਰਦੂ ਸ਼ਾਇਰੀ ਦੇ ਸ਼ੇਅਰ ਵਿਚ ਜਿਥੇ ਕਿਸੇ ਨੂੰ ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ‘ਤੇਰੀ’ ਆਖ ਸੰਬੋਧਤ ਹਨ, ਉਥੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਵਿਚ ਉਹ ਸਾਰੇ ਵਾਰਵਰਣ ਨੂੰ, ਬਿਰਛਾਂ ਨੂੰ, ਪੰਖੇਰੂਆਂ ਨੂੰ, ਸਮੇਂ ਨੂੰ, ਜ਼ਮਾਨੇ ਨੂੰ, ਆਪਣੇ ‘ਮਿਤਰ ਪਿਆਰੇ’ ਵੱਲ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ-ਸੁਨੇਹਾ ਦਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ। ਇਹ ਸੁਨੇਹਾ ਅੰਤਾਂ ਦੀ ਮਿਠਾਸ ਨਾਲ ਭਰਿਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ। ਦੁੱਖਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੀਆਂ ਨੇ, ਆਪਣੇ ਫ਼ਰਜ਼ ਦੀ ਪੂਰਤੀ ਨੇ, ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੇ ਹਿਰਦੇ ਵਿਚ ਅਥਾਹ ਮਿਠਾਸ ਭਰ ਦਿੱਤੀ ਹੈ। ਕਿੰਨੇ ਮਿੱਠੇ, ਕਿੰਨੇ ਨਿਰਮਾਣ (ਮੁਰੀਦ), ਕਿੰਨੇ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਵਿਚ ਡੁੱਬੇ ਹੋਏ ਉਹ ਵਚਨ ਉਚਾਰ ਰਹੇ ਹਨ। ਤੇਰੇ ਬਿਨਾਂ, ਹੇ ਪਿਆਰੇ, ਰਜਾਈਆਂ ਰੋਗ ਹੀ ਨਹੀਂ ਹਨ, ਸਗੋਂ ਜੀਉਣਾ ਹੀ ਇਉਂ ਹੈ ਜਿਵੇਂ ਨਾਗਾਂ ਵਿਚ ਰਹਿਣਾ ਹੋਵੇ। ਪਿਆਲਾ ਖ਼ੰਜਰ ਵਰਗਾ, ਸੁਰਾਹੀ ਸੂਲੀ ਵਰਗੀ ਹੈ। ਹੇ ਮੇਰੇ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਮ (ਯਾਰੜਿਆਂ) ਸਾਨੂੰ ਸੁਖ-ਆਰਾਮ (ਖੇੜੇ)ਨਹੀਂ ਚਾਹੀਦੇ, ਤੂੰ ਹੋਵੇਂ ਤਾਂ ਸੱਥਰ ਸੌਣਾ ਵੀ ਬਾਦਸ਼ਾਹੀਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਉੱਤੇ ਹੈ।

ਗੁਰੂ ਸਾਹਿਬ ਦੀ ਆਮ ਬਾਣੀ ਅਕਾਲ ਉਸਤਤਿ, ਚੰਡੀ ਚਰਿਤ੍ਰ, ਚੰਡੀ ਦੀ ਵਾਰ, ਉਗ੍ਰ ਦੰਤੀ, ਆਦਿ ਖੜਕਵੀਂ ਤੇ ਗਰਜਵੀਂ ਹੈ। ਪਰ ਇਹ ‘ਖਿਆਲ’ ਬੜਾ ਹੀ ਸੌਖਾ, ਮਿੱਠਾ ਤੇ ਸ਼ਹਿਦ-ਭਿੱਜਾ ਹੈ। ਸ਼ਾਇਦ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਦਾ ਫ਼ਰਕ ਹੈ। ਉਹ ਜੰਗਾਂ ਅਤੇ ਯੁੱਧਾਂ ਦੀ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਦੀ ਪੈਦਾਵਾਰ ਹਨ, ਇਹ ਸਥਿਤੀ ਭਾਰ-ਮੁਕਤ ਤੇ ਹੌਲੇ ਫੁੱਲ ਮਨ ਦੀ ਹੈ। ਕੋਈ ਮਹਾਨ ਤਪੱਸਵੀ ਹੀ, ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਵਾਰ ਦੇਣ ਮਗਰੋਂ ਇਹੋ ਜਿਹੀ ਮਾਨਸਿਕ ਅਵਸਥਾ ਉੱਤੇ ਪੁਜ ਸਕਦਾ ਹੈ।

“ਜਿਨਿ ਪ੍ਰੇਮ ਕੀਉ ਤਿਨ ਹੀ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਪਾਇਓ”.. ਇਹ “ਖਿਆਲ” ਉਚਾਰਣ ਵੇਲੇ, ਨਿਰਸੰਦੇਹ, ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੇ ਆਪਣੇ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਨੂੰ ਪਾਇਆ ਹੋਇਆ ਹੈ। ਜਿਸ ਨੂੰ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਨੇ ਇਸ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਵਿਚ “ਮਿੱਤਰ ਪਿਆਰਾ” ਕਿਹਾ ਹੈ🌹🙏🏼

🙏🏼Today is Holy Parkash Gurpurab of Eighth Sikh Guru Sri Guru Har Krishan Sahib Ji. May Guru Ji Bless you All and enlighten your path always!🌹

Sri Guru Har Krishan Sahib Ji (Gurmukhi: ਗੁਰੂ ਹਰਿ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨ) (Wednesday, 23 July 1656 - Saturday, 16 April 1664) was the eighth of the Ten human form Gurus (divine messengers) of Sikhism. He was the second son of the seventh Guru, Sri Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji and Mata Krishan Kaur Ji (Sulakhni Ji). Before passing away in 1661, Guru Har Rai Sahib Ji had declared that their younger son Har Krishan, would be the next Sikh Guru. Thus, Har Krishan Sahib ascended to the throne of Guruship on Sunday, 20 October 1661, at the young age of five years.

In human history, there are but few devotees of God who have achieved a supreme level of spirituality in such a tender age, as Guru Har Krishan Sahib did. Despite his young age, Guru Sahib used to delight the hearts of his disciples by his commentaries on the passages from the holy scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib. He reminded people to cherish the One God alone, asking them to discard passions and learn the virtues of patience, charity and love...

The day provides a unique opportunity for dialogue between young people, technical and vocational education and training (TVET) institutions, firms, employers, policymakers, etc. The Skill India Mission was also launched on this day, that is on July 15.

World Population Day- 11th July

World Population Day, which seeks to focus attention on the urgency and importance of population issues, was established by the then-Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme in 1989, an outgrowth of the interest generated by the Day of Five Billion, which was observed on 11 July 1987.

By resolution 45/216 of December 1990, the United Nations General Assembly decided to continue observing World Population Day to enhance awareness of population issues, including their relations to the environment and development.

The Day was first marked on 11 July 1990 in more than 90 countries. Since then, a number of a number of UNFPA country offices and other organizations and institutions commemorate World Population Day, in partnership with governments and civil society.

World Zoonoses Day -6th  July

World Zoonoses Day, which is celebrated annually on July 6 to honour the first immunisation against a zoonotic illness like Avian Influenza, West Nile Virus, or Ebola, is observed. On July 6, 1885, French biologist Louis Pasteur gave the first dose of the first vaccination against the zoonotic disease rabies. World Zoonoses Day holds significance in educating and raising awareness about zoonotic diseases that can be transmitted from animals to humans.  

Zoonotic diseases, commonly referred to as Zoonoses, are contagious illnesses brought on by pathogens that can spread from animals to people. These zoonotic germs can transmit through direct or indirect contact between animals and people and can be bacterial, parasitic, viral, or even unusual agents. Zoonoses make up a sizable portion of known infectious diseases including HIV, Ebola, rabies, etc.  

Since French biologist Louis Pasteur gave the first dose of the first vaccine against rabies, a zoonotic illness, on July 6, 1885, Zoonoses Day has been observed all over the world. Since then, Zoonoses Day has been observed annually to honour his contributions and spread awareness of zoonotic illnesses.

International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking | 26 June,2022

Theme 2022 : 

Addressing drug challenges in health and humanitarian crises.

#CareInCrises 

From warzones to refugee camps to communities torn apart by violence, people in all parts of the world are in dire need. A pandemic, a climate crisis, a food crisis, an energy crisis, and supply chain disruptions have increased suffering and taken us to the brink of global recession. This World Drug Day, UNODC addresses existing and emerging transnational drug challenges stemming from situations of crisis. UNODC continues to advocate to protect the right to health for the most vulnerable, including children and youth, people using drugs, people with drug use disorders and people who need access to controlled medicines.

With the #CareInCrises campaign, UNODC is calling on governments, international organizations, civil society, and all stakeholders to take urgent action to protect people, including by strengthening drug use prevention and treatment, and by tackling illicit drug supply.

World Drug Day is a day to share research findings, evidence-based data, and solutions, to continue tapping into a shared spirit of solidarity.

ਅੱਜ ਵਿਸ਼ਵ ਖੂਨਦਾਨ ਦਿਵਸ ਹੈ 🩸♥️- 14th June 2022

Today's World Blood🩸 Donor Day 2022 : Donating blood is an act of solidarity. Join the effort and save lives.

On World Blood Donor Day 2022 WHO is calling on people all around the globe to give blood in a gesture of solidarity.

Safe blood and blood products and their transfusion are a critical aspect of care and public health. They are key in treating people suffering from a range of diseases and as a result of accidents, natural disasters and armed conflict. The need for blood is universal, but access to it is limited – especially in low- and middle-income countries, where shortages particularly impact women and children as these tend to be the people who need blood most.

Becoming a regular voluntary blood donor is a simple but selfless step that everyone can take to strengthen their communities, support local health systems and save lives.🩸♥️

World Environment🌏 Day- 5 June, 2022🌳

Theme 2022 : Only one Earth

*In the universe are billions of galaxies,

In our galaxy are billions of planets,

But there is #OnlyOneEarth.

Let’s take care of it*

Where did #OnlyOneEarth come from?

“Only One Earth” was the slogan for the first United Nations Conference on the Human Environment, held in Stockholm in 1972. This put sustainable development on the global agenda and led to the establishment of World Environment Day. Fifty years later, Sweden is hosting Stockholm+50 from 2 to 3 June, and World Environment Day on 5 June.

Why take part?

Time is running out, and nature is in emergency mode. To keep global warming below 1.5°C this century, we must halve annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Without action, exposure to air pollution beyond safe guidelines will increase by 50 per cent within the decade and plastic waste flowing into aquatic ecosystems will nearly triple by 2040.

We need urgent action to address these pressing issues, making “Only One Earth” and its focus on living sustainably in harmony with nature, as pertinent as ever.

Earth faces a triple planetary emergency:

the climate is heating up too quickly for people and nature to adapt;

habitat loss and other pressures mean an estimated 1 million species are threatened with extinction;

pollution continues to poison our air, land and water.

The way out of this dilemma is to transform our economies and societies to make them inclusive, fair and more connected with nature. We must shift from harming the planet to healing it.

The good news is the solutions and the technology exist and are increasingly affordable.

#OnlyOneEarth is the campaign for World Environment Day 2022. It calls for collective, transformative action on a global scale to celebrate, protect and restore our planet.

Did you know?

We are using the equivalent of 1.6 Earths to maintain our current way of life, and ecosystems cannot keep up with our demands.

Our lifestyles are associated with two thirds of all greenhouse gas emissions - studies show that sustainable lifestyles and behaviours could reduce our emissions by 40 to 70% by 2050.

Sustainable consumption and production can drive economic development, mitigate climate change, positively impact health and pollution, and help alleviate poverty – potentially increasing incomes by an average of 11% in low- and medium-income countries by 2060, and 4% in high-income countries.

Stockholm+50, looking for a cure to our planet

Stockholm+50, held on 2 and 3 Jun, brings leaders and representatives from governments, businesses, international organizations, civil society and youth together in the Swedish capital. The meeting aims to drive action toward a healthy planet for the prosperity of all and will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment.

Guru Arjan Dev Ji Martyrdom Day-3rd June

🙏🏻Every year in June month, Sikh Community observe Guru Arjan Dev Ji Martyrdom Day.This day is observed to salute the contribution, sacrifice, courage and determination of the fifth Sikh Guru. This year, Sikhs across the globe will be observing 416th Martyrdom Day, by installing Chabeel and serving rose milk and sweets to hawkers and passerby even in the scorching heat.  As the day is here, let us tell you about the heroic story of Guru Arjan Dev Ji. 

🙏🏻Guru Arjan Dev was born in Goindval Sahib, district Tarn Taaran, India April 15, 1563. His mother was Mata Bhani and his spouse was Mata Ganga. He succeeded his father Guru Ram Das in 1581, who was the fourth Sikh Guru. His maternal grandfather Guru Amar Das was the third Sikh Guru. After the death of Guru Arjan Dev, his son Hargobind Singh became the sixth Sikh Guru.

🙏🏻Guru Arjan Dev used to preach the message of God which was initiated by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Guru Arjan Dev ji compiled the Adi Granth. This is the religious scripture of Sikhs. It consists of musical ragas and spiritual poetry. Adi Granth constitutes half of his teachings. It was installed at Harmandir Sahab. Later it was expanded and came to be known as Guru Granth Sahab. He contributed more than 2000 hymns, which is the largest collection in the Guru Granth Sahab.

🙏🏻Guru Arjan Dev laid the foundation stone of Harmandir Sahab in 1588. It is now famous as Golden Temple. He prepared the map also. There are doors on all the sides of the temple to signify the acceptance of all castes and religions. Guru Arjan Dev also reorganized Masand system, asking Sikhs for charity by donating one-tenth of their income (dasvand).

🙏🏻Guru Arjan Dev is also the author of the well-known and popular religious Sikh script Sukhmani Sahib Bani.

🙏🏻Jahangir the Mughal emperor of that time was afraid of the popularity and influence of Arjan Dev among people and also of the spread of Sikhism. In 1606 Arjan Dev was captured and imprisoned in Lahore Fort by Jahangir. He was forced many times but refused to convert to Islam. Arjan Dev blessed the emperor's rebellious son Khusrau. Arjan Dev was tortured for five days by making him sit on a hot sheet and hot sand was poured on him. After that, he was taken to the Ravi river, where after taking a dip in the river he was never seen again.

International Day for Biological Diversity -22 May 2022

Theme 2022 ; Building a shared future for all life

As the global community is called to re-examine our relationship to the natural world, one thing is certain: despite all our technological advances we are completely dependent on healthy and vibrant ecosystems for our water, food, medicines, clothes, fuel, shelter and energy, just to name a few.

The theme in 2022 is “Building a shared future for all life”. Fitting within the context of the ongoing United Nations Decade on Restoration.

When biodiversity has a problem, humanity has a problem

Biological diversity is often understood in terms of the wide variety of plants, animals and microorganisms, but it also includes genetic differences within each species — for example, between varieties of crops and breeds of livestock — and the variety of ecosystems (lakes, forest, deserts, agricultural landscapes) that host multiple kind of interactions among their members (humans, plants, animals).

Biological diversity resources are the pillars upon which we build civilizations. Fish provide 20 per cent of animal protein to about 3 billion people. Over 80 per cent of the human diet is provided by plants. As many as 80 per cent of people living in rural areas in developing countries rely on traditional plant‐based medicines for basic healthcare.

But loss of biodiversity threatens all, including our health.

Did you know?

Current negative trends in biodiversity and ecosystems will undermine progress towards 80% of the assessed targets of 8 Sustainable Development Goals.

Three-quarters of the land-based environment and about 66% of the marine environment have been significantly altered by human actions.

1 million animal and plant species are now threatened with extinction.

21 May – National Anti-Terrorism Day

National Anti-Terrorism Day is observed every year on 21 May to spread awareness about the violence caused by the terrorists and also in the memory of former Indian PM Rajiv Gandhi who passed on this day.

The official announcement of National Anti Terrorism Day was made after the assassination of India's seventh Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi on 21 May 1991. He was killed in Tamil Nadu in a campaign by a terrorist. Then, under the V.P. Singh government, the centre has decided to observe 21st May as Anti Terrorism Day. On this day Anti Terrorism pledge is taken in all the government offices, public sector undertakings, and other public institutions, etc.

National Technology Day- 11th May

National Technology Day is celebrated on May 11 every year to commemorate the achievements of scientists, researchers, engineers and all others involved in the field of science and technology. It’s a day to remind Indians about the technological advancements made by the country.

The day was first observed on May 11, 1999. The day was chosen because on this day India successfully broke into the elite group of countries with nuclear weapons. On 11 May 1998, India successfully conducted three nuclear tests at Indian Army’s Pokhran Test Range in Rajasthan. The tests were conducted under operation Shakti. Two more nuclear tests were conducted on May 13. All the tests were led by the late A P J Abdul Kalam, who went on to become India’s eleventh president. The mission was carried out by Indian Army along with Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO), Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), and Atomic Minerals Directorate for Exploration.

Mother's Day- 8th May

💕🤱🏻Mother's Day 2022 is an annual celebration of the mother and her unwavering commitment to her children's well-being. This day celebrates our mother's unconditional love and each sacrifice they make for their children. People honour their mothers, mother-like figures in their life, and even grandmothers on this day. A mother is present in every step of our life, from feeding us our first meal to hearing our first words to handling our tantrums and providing us with a shoulder to cry on as we grow older. Though one day is insufficient to express gratitude for every delicious meal she prepares and for all the times they've pushed us to be a better person, the day honours her in the most wonderful way.

💕🤱🏻Mother's Day History

Mother's Day is believed to have originated in America in 1907 when Anna Jarvis hosted a worship service in honour of mothers at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia. When her mother Ann Reeves Jarvis died in 1905, she voiced her desire for Mother's Day to be recognised as a national holiday. The inaugural Mother's Day was celebrated two years later. It was made a national holiday by US President Woodrow Wilson in 1914. While Mother's Day is observed on the second Sunday in May in India, it is celebrated on different days in different countries.

💕💕We appreciate all the mothers for everything they do for their kids to give them a better and smooth life. May almighty bless you all abundantly. 

Happy Mother's Day 💕💕

NATIONAL DEWORMING DAY   

                (10/02/2022)

National Deworming Day 2022: Parasitic worms or helminths, present in the soil, enter people and animals through the soles of their feet. These organisms can also infiltrate our bodies through worm-infested food or by touching infected faecal matter. The worms attach to the intestines and cause weakness, anaemia, indigestion, weight loss, abdominal pain, diarrhoea and vomiting. The worms may even enter the brain. Dewormers paralyse or kill adult worms. National Deworming Day is observed on February 10, to make people aware of the importance of deworming, particularly for children from 1 to 19 years of age, who are the most vulnerable.

About 241 million children in India between 1 and 14 years of age are at risk of infections from Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) and resulting anaemia and other health issues. As per the National Health Portal (NHP) website, about 7 in 10 children between 6 to 59 months of age have anaemia, especially in rural areas. To remedy this situation, the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare launched the National Deworming Day initiative, in the year 2015. The first programme was conducted in February that year and has continued annually since.

Parasitic worms are a menace to society, both for people and animals. It is impossible to prevent worm infestation since children come in contact with soil while playing outside. Worm infestations can reduce the quality of life in children, stunt their physical growth and mental development. This may lead to poor productivity in schools, affect their attendance and hamper their education and future. Hence, timely and proper deworming of children is a necessity.
