UDHAMPUR, MAY-12:- As part of the celebration of “Azadi ka Amrut Mahotsav” NSS Unit Government Degree College, Chenani, today conducted door to door awareness campaign regarding Health, Hygiene & Sanitation under the aegis of ‘PRAYATNA’.

During the camping, the students interacted with the locals and sensitized them about the cleanliness and solid waste management, building on local knowledge and promoting positive traditional practices of sanitation. They exhorted on developing new strategies and tools to improve key hygiene behaviours, while empowering communities to take their health and well-being into their own hands.

The event was conducted under the guidance of Mir Hafeez, Sunil Kumar, NSS Program Officer and Pardeep Kumar.
