With an effort to spread awareness about hygiene and sanitation in Kiphire Town, the 7 Assam Rifles Kiphire under the aegis of Headquarters 5 sector Assam Rifles today conducted a lecture cum workshop at Zisaji Presidency College with Medical Officer of 7 AR, Dr. Subhara Jyoti as resource person.
Dr. Subhara Jyoti said health and hygiene are well connected. “We have to focus from illness to wellness and which does not mean to cure the disease but to prevent it so that we have a healthy life,” he added.
The doctor also stated hygiene may be further classified into community, public and personal. Simple act as washing hand before and after cooking, he said, makes much difference and asked the students to ‘stay healthy and eat healthy’.
Stating that if the society we live is healthy the economy of the nation also improves, he appealed to the students to take care of one’s environment as disease and sickness are spread through unclean environment.
Dr. Purna, Vice Principal, ZPC said such programme is very much needed to be organized from time to time as health is as important as the economy for any society.
