We have observed that number of scorpion bite cases treated by the qualified medical practitioner has gone up significantly! However death of a lady by snake bite in the last month, which was due to the delay in taking her to the hospital, has made us to take up a campaign to equip the women and school children with the knowledge of
first aid and quick action. We have prepared PPT presentations and we will be conducting focused trainings for women and students from second week of July. This experience makes us feel that the Power Point Presentation is the effective way of convincing people and making them educate about the said subject. The area where we work has maximum load shading and unable to provide electricity. Thus laptop is the best option to overcome this situation. Thus we request you to provide at least 3 laptops for communication with the community people.
