As part of the ongoing Poshan Maah initiative, the Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) organized a series of awareness activities across city schools to promote hygiene, nutrition and sustainable waste management practices among students.

An awareness program was conducted at Delhi Public School (DPS), Jammu, where the Swaaha IEC Team educated students on the importance of maintaining proper hygiene and adopting healthy daily habits. The session featured live demonstrations on correct handwashing techniques, emphasizing how hand hygiene plays a critical role in preventing diseases and ensuring good health. Students actively participated and learned the step-by-step process of effective handwashing.

The team also held an engaging session on Safe Drinking Water, sensitizing children about the need to consume clean, filtered or boiled water to avoid water-borne illnesses. The discussion encouraged students to adopt safe water practices and spread awareness within their families and communities.

In a parallel effort, Jammu Municipal Corporation (JMC) Swaaha IEC conducted another awareness activity at Model Academy School, focusing on waste segregation and environmental responsibility. During the session, students were educated about the importance of separating dry and wet waste, proper disposal methods and their crucial role in maintaining cleanliness and sustainability. The team encouraged children to become agents of change by practicing segregation at the source and supporting a cleaner, greener Jammu.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Vinod Sharma, Health Officer, JMC, emphasized that awareness programs like these help instill lifelong habits in children, making them ambassadors of hygiene and sustainability in their homes and schools.

The sessions concluded with interactive discussions and student pledges to adopt healthy, hygienic, and eco-friendly practices in their daily lives. Through such initiatives, Jammu Municipal Corporation continues its efforts to spread the message of “Swasth Bachhe, Swachh Bhavishya”, inspiring the younger generation to lead the way toward a clean and healthy future.
