By ETF Desk
The Udupi and Dakshina Kannada districts in Karnataka are set to witness a massive deworming drive on August 10, with over 7 lakh students scheduled to receive deworming tablets. This initiative is part of the National Deworming Day, a government-led program aimed at combating parasitic worm infections among school-going children.
The program has been implemented by the government to address the issue of parasitic worm infections, which can lead to malnutrition, anaemia, and impaired cognitive development among children. The deworming tablets will be administered to students in government and private schools across the two districts.
The deworming drive is expected to have a significant impact on the health and well-being of children in the region. By preventing parasitic worm infections, the program aims to improve the overall health and educational outcomes of children, ultimately contributing to the development of the region.
