Malaria is a serious and sometimes fatal disease caused by a parasite that commonly infects a certain type of mosquito which feeds on humans.
People who get malaria are typically very sick with high fevers, shaking chills, and flu-like illness. Although malaria can be a deadly disease, illness and death from malaria can usually be prevented.
World Malaria Day, annual observance held on April 25 to raise awareness of the global effort to control and ultimately eradicate malaria. World Malaria Day is observed to recognize the existence of malaria in countries worldwide and to bring greater awareness to the global fight against the disease.
In this context, NCVBDC proposes to organize an all-India poster making and slogan writing competition to be held online for school students. The competition will be held on My GOV.
This competition will entail two main components.
The objectives for this year’s World Malaria Day are:
- Highlight the successes of countries in the malaria fight.
- Inspire a new group of countries that have the potential to eliminate the disease by 2025.
- Demonstrate that zero malaria is within reach for all countries.
