The future of the country depends on the health condition of the students, and the Andhra Pradesh government would always be at the forefront to take steps to protect them, said District Collector M. Hari Narayanan.
The District Collector launched the distribution of deworming tablets for free among students of the PCR Government High School here on Wednesday as part of the National Deworming Programme. The tablets will be distributed among children of all schools in the district.
Speaking at the programme, the Collector said: “The government has been implementing a series of health schemes to treat anaemia, nutrient deficiency and loss of appetite among children. These ailments will arise in children infected with worms, and to prevent this, the government is giving free deworming pills. The medical health and education departments should work in coordination with each other to make this programme a success.”
