As a part of the four years of citizen centric governance in Manipur, a ‘Village Health and Nutrition, COVID-19 Appropriate Behavior and Vaccination Awareness Campaign’ was held on Friday at DTC hall, Tuibong, Churachandpur district and at Pherzawl district.
The campaigns were organised by the district administrations of the two districts where stalls were set up for people for health check-up and enrollment in CMHT/PMJAY scheme. The programmes were attended by the respective DCs and CMOs along with their staff, ICDS and others.
The DC of Churachandpur Pawan Yadav appealed to the people to participate in the COVID-19 vaccination drive and get enrolled in the healthcare schemes. He also highlighted the achievement of the district under the present BJP-led state government.
