The discourse around personal hygiene and cleanliness has picked up in the recent times and even led to positive behaviour change. Now, there is an immediate and urgent need to make personal hygiene a sustainable and long-lasting habit. As a part of this ongoing exercise, Reckitt initiated the country바카라s first intellectual hygiene event, Dettol Hygiene Olympiad. The aim is to assess students바카라 awareness of health practices through a national-level annual examination, which will spread the hygiene culture across communities. The test addresses the knowledge gaps in hygiene literacy. Here is a snapshot of some of the champions in this year바카라s Olympiad.

1. For Ashika Singh, a Class VIII student from Bhagalpur, Bihar, school is the place where she learnt about handwashing technique. Earlier, she washed hands in running water, and took little time. Now, she uses soap or liquid handwash, takes time, and ensures that even the nails are clean. 바카라We wash hands each time before eating, and after using the toilet. We ask family members to follow the same procedure.바카라

2. Ansh, a Class II student from Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, learnt the importance of taking a bath regularly. 바카라I wash hands 10-11 times a day. Before eating, we wash plates. Whatever is taught about hygiene in school, I convey it to family. Everyone at home washes hand with soap and water, and makes sure that the surroundings are clean.바카라

3. In another school in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, students are aware of the importance of cutting nails regularly. In fact, nails accumulate the maximum dirt, and clipping them is crucial. 바카라During the morning prayer, teachers urge us to wash hands every time before eating. They talk about nails, and that we need to wash clothes well with soap. We have to take a bath, twice every day, before coming to school and after going home,바카라 says Shivani, who studies in Class VIII.

4. A Class VI student, Priya, who studies in Government Upper Primary School, Uttarakhand, told family about the importance of handwashing. 바카라We are regularly taught about such benefits. We have to take care of personal hygiene. Our teachers talk about the necessity to have good habits and clean surroundings. I convey the same to neighbours and friends.바카라

5. Ruksar, who studies in Class IV in Uttar Pradesh바카라s Gorakhpur, says that she learnt about hygiene and cleanliness in school. 바카라We are taught how to wash hands properly, and that we must not hurry with it. During Covid, we learnt that we need to clean hands after we touch anything.바카라 Students in Ruksar바카라s school stand in queues to wash hands before eating. When she reaches home, she showers and cleans up.
