Awareness on Dengue Control (Oct. 1)

‘Red Roses’ intently watched the one-hour live

streaming of the program on dengue control

initiated by the D’te of Education. They

understood the significance of ‘10 hafte, 10 baje,

10 minute” to keep check on the deadly disease-

carrier’. A video shown in the program made it

clear that a once- in- a-week simple step of

Page | 3

emptying out the water that gets collected in containers can prove effective in eradication of

dengue as the larvae of Aedis Aegyptis breed in stagnant fresh water. The vigilance of the young

ambassadors against the blood -sucker in school and in their neighbourhood can drastically

lessen the cases of this vector-borne disease.

Hero TOI Green Drive (Oct. 3)

densely populated Delhi to

and Centre for

Environmental Management of Degraded Ecosystem along with Hero TOI.

and healthy environment. Tree plantation being the immediate necessity to protect our

environment against air pollution and global warming, students enthusiastically participated in

the endeavor to make our environment safer, cleaner and healthier.
