•Workshops
•Interactive sessions
•Self help therapies for management of nits & lice.
•Self preparation of recepies or formulation.
Why should a workshop like this be carried out?
Most of the rural places , lack basic needs like water and hence the cleanliness is disturbed .
• 70% of students bathe only once a week.
•19% of students bathe twice a week.
•5% of students bathe once a fortnight.
•1% of students bathe once in two days.
Note: these students were girls from government schools
aged between10-14 yrs on/ before 01-11-2008 .
The status of cleanliness:
•The question of cleanliness is just not between points of washing
hands and bathing even with care of the hair and scalp , the survey
dinged out some amazing facts like .
•About 15% of students comb the hair once in two days( reason wake up late in the morning and they just wrap it on the fore head).
•About 65% of students comb the hair once in day(reason the only comb it when they leave to school).
•Short hair girls do not comb their hair thoroughly for a long time.
•Girls wearing scarf to school merely have any interest in taking care of the hair .
•Application of oil to the scalp is just a week end program.
The result of this negligence.......
•The scalp and hair are infected by multiple nits and head lice which are very difficult to be removed.
•The Tinea capitalis ( fungal infection of the scalp is very common).This leads to head ache and severe loss of memory.
• The lice attack lead to abrasions on the scalp and as a result of this infected wounds lead to head ache and insomnia.
•The pain of the itch leads to disturbed concentration and primary migraine.
•These lice also travel to under arms and affect the private parts in severe cases .
Note : was observed in rural village school during the medical examination and the survey, nits (eggs) were also found.

Summary:
India is an multicultural sector where in it is regardless of health issues like the nits
and the head lice on a contemporary note in the western region of the world
or the developed countries it is an offence for the student having lice in the
head and is sent back from the school, as this student will not be allowed
back until there is not nit . But a sector like India if this was to be followed
the schools would have been almost empty.
We cannot overlook at the fact that not only students
suffer but a major part of the population wither men or
women suffer and they have minimal knowledge of the consequences .
This campaign will try to get awareness about the facts and also about
the consequences of the about unhealthy condition by self help remedies
and preventive measures.
