For controlling this and for the protection of mother – child, maternity and children health programme has been organised by the State Government. In the district of Kanpur, the Chief Medical Officer sponsored the maternity and children health programme organised by Sophie Jan Kalyan Samiti. The aim of the programme in six slum areas was to reduce the rate of death of mother – child and to reduce the death rate of newly born babies due to dangerous diseases. In the camp mother and child were intensively examined in which malnutrition was found in both, because the condition of citizens living in these slum areas was not good. Who should be held responsible for this? In this camp 1200 patients were examined and free medicines were made available to them. The tablets of Vitamin A and B were distributed free of cost to pregnant ladies. In this camp the disease named anemia was found. Kanpur being an industrial area abounds in diseases.

For lack of proper care these are on the brink of death and T.B., Malaria diseases were detected after their examination in these ladies. Who is responsible for this? The beneficiaries were immediately shifted by the organisation to the district hospital because their proper care could not be taken in the camp.

AIDS awareness

A seminar / awareness programme was organized at the crossing of Baradevi against AIDS by the organization for AIDS awareness in which 65 tempo drivers 25 rickshaw pullers were made aware, simultaneously they were also asked questions about AIDS and free condoms were distributed to them on getting the right reply. It was brought to light during the programme that the lower strata of the society were victims of this despite having knowledge about it. Why? Who is responsible for this? Social atmosphere or they themselves?

Due to excessive load of work, the present generation has to go out of the house and due to their distancing themselves from the family and indulgence in sexual activities, the danger of AIDS increases on account of ignorance, knowingly or unknowingly to check this. We have to be faithful to our life partner. So, the danger of AIDS can be minimized in our life. The specialist also advised the same thing.
