This one month program (September 2016) aims at creating great awareness among the public about the impact of the mosquito killer diseases which is assuming huge size in the lives of people in Delhi.

The S3 team assembled as a group during the weekends and assigned the following activities as a part of awareness campaign. The agenda had the following list of activities which includes:

1:Use of Mosquitoes repellents and spray cans with pumps : 

This pumping of mosquitoes repellant through the spray cans helped to cover the residential base of approximately 5000 + in infection prone areas like Vishwakarma Colony, Badarpur, Aali, LIG flats & School Of Gautam Puri, Okhla and Sarita Vihar, Tuglakabad etc. S3 team was encouraged by the residents who acknowledged the contribution. Few of them were curious to participate and were willing to start similar initiative to prevent the disease.

2: Distribution of free homeopathic medicines to the affected individuals:

 This activity helped the affected persons to a great extent as the medicines were issued “free of cost” and effective against the infection. About 140 patients benefited from this part of the campaign. The S3 team is aiming to distribute more such medicines free of cost to the needy during the subsequent camps.
