PERSONAL HYGIENE
During our visits to Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya
(KGBV) schools, the team identified various issues
pertaining to the hygiene levels maintained by students.
This led us to carry out a session on importance of
personal hygiene at these schools.
Activities performed:
Fun and interactive sessions were organised in all the
KGBV schools to instill the importance of maintaining
personal hygiene amongst students.
The session included:
- Animated video shown in Hindi on importance of
personal hygiene.
- Quizzes were taken to test whether students had
absorbed all that was included in the session.
Issues Identified
The team on every visit to KGBV schools distributes prizes to cleanly dressed students to motivate
students.

students about various schemes of the government that

them to continue their childs education.

MENSTRUAL HYGIENE
On interacting with students we observed that in few
schools the teachers were hesitating in explaining the
students about menstruation. The team thus planned a
session for spreading awareness about menstruation.
Through the medium of an
animated video, students
were educated about the
science behind why
females get menstruation.
The purpose was to
sensitise girls that it was
something very natural and
empowering.
S t ud en t s
we re
a lso
informed about the health
benefits of maintaining
menstrual hygiene and the
steps to maintain the same.
Points discussed

females?

ISSUES
The pulses, poha etc. were being stored in open racks.
HEALTH RECORDS
We observed that appropriate health records
of students were not being maintained. Thus
the school authorities were asked to maintain
individual health cards of all students
containing the history of infections/ diseases
that the student has suffered, weight, height,
haemoglobin levels, etc.
OTHER POINTS
With the constant dedication and efforts of our members, a few other positive
changes have been brought about in KGBV schools.
- The hygiene levels being maintained by students have improved. They are more
properly and cleanly dressed.
- Improved cleanliness in KGBV schools
- Proper records of stock registers for uniform, stationary are being kept.
