"It has become a fashion now to attend private schools.

At the event here at the Government Sarvodaya Co-ed Vidyalaya, Jain underlined that government schools can equip students to reach any height even as he said that he had studied at one himself. He also emphasised to the students the importance of the de-worming programme, which will cover 11,500 anganwadis and 3,032 schools across 12 districts of Delhi tomorrow. A mop- up day has been scheduled for April 20. "I have spoken to my officials and we plan to implement the programme in private schools also next month," Jain said. Priya Jha, Country Director of India Programmes for Evidence Action's Deworm the World Initiative, said, "This de-worming round is critical for the health and well-being of Delhi's children. "Regular de-worming together with improved water, sanitation and health education, can significantly reduce the prevalence and detrimental health impacts of parasitic worms in children."
