Yogi Adityanath Government to Begin ‘Dastak’ Campaign In Fight Against Encephalitis And Other Diseases
Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath
The Yogi Adityanath government will begin the 'Dastak' campaign in Uttar Pradesh on 1 July. The campaign — aimed at fighting Japanese Encephalitis, malaria, Chikungunya and other diseases — was launched by the Adityanath government in 2018.
Adityanath has directed officials to converge strategies of the health department with other departments in the campaign against the diseases.
Participation of block development officers, Zila Panchayat officers, chief medical officers, school teachers and officers in other departments will be ensured.
Teams formed by the government went door-to-door in each affected district.
This year, the state government has come up with 73,000 Nigrani Samitis (watch committees). Four lakh people attached to these committees will work towards awareness against the diseases. The Adityanath government has taken similar steps to fight the spread of Covid-19 in the state.
Preparations have been made to equip 3,011 primary health centres and and 855 community health centres for treatment of the diseases. ASHA workers, aganwadi workers, and village panchayats will contribute their mite to the campaign.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
