Children are most vulnerable to worm infections, as their immune system is not yet fully developed. Untreated worm infections prevent children’s healthy growth, cause poor nutrition and reduce their capacity to concentrate and learn.
A single dose of deworming treatment drastically reduces the number of worms in each child. Regular treatment contributes to good health and nutrition for children of school age, which in turn leads to increasedenrolment and attendance, reduced class repetition and better educational attainment. Children need these deworming medicines to grow healthier and learn better in school.

The observance of Mop up Day at CT PUBLIC SCHOOL on 10th August was a groundbreaking initiative that focused on reducing the threat of parasitic worm infections, a widespread health issue affecting over millions of children in India alone. Every year CT plays an important role in ensuring that every child in class takes the appropriate dosage of medicine.
Today the doctors gave albendazole IP 400 mg tab for deworming to all the CT students under 19 years of age .A prior consent of the parents was taken for the same.
The Principal,Mr.Daljeet Rana said, "The early years of a child are the most critical and significant and if the comprehensive set of actions identified in National Deworming Day Guidelines is fully implemented, children will have improved health outcomes and be able to achieve their potential to the fullest."
The Vice Principal,Ms.Sukhdeep Kaur also said that the timely, high quality, mass-based deworming programme for children of school will dramatically reduce the harm caused by parasitic worm infections in millions of children in India.
