Proper stocking of balance DDT and spray equipment for next round of IRS Balance stock of DDT & Spray equipments for next round stored at Block level & district store. But there are no separate specific store rooms for storage of DDT INTEGRATED VECTOR CONTROL – INSECTICIDE TREATED BED NETS (ITNs) /LONG LASTING INSECTICIDAL NETS (LLINS) Preparation of Sub centre-wise micro-plan for requirement, distribution of ITNs /LLINs LLIN/ ITB distribution done in our district irrespective of BPL/APL to cover 100% population of the area. Assessment of Sub centre-wise community owned bed nets Before planning implementation SC workers surveyed the area to find out the actual number of community owned bed nets in the area by house to house survey.

INTEGRATED VECTOR CONTROL – USE OF LARVIVOROUS FISH Mapping of water bodies (mosquito breeding places) for introduction of Control - Use of larvivorous fish Larvivorous fish culture primarily introduced in our district since 2008 in selected blocks, not in hilly blocks/ where “Flash flood” / “dryness of most of the water bodies take place” Establishment of hatcheries at PHCs/Networking with Fisheries Dept for stocking larvivorous fish Seven Hatcheries constructed for LVFC in the different PHCs of this district. Sadar ( CMOH office complex)-1, Rajganj ( RH complex)-1, Maynaguri ( RH complex)-1, Dhupguri ( RH complex)-1, Banarhat (PHC complex)-1, Mangalbari (BPHC complex)-1, Mal (SDH complex)-1 Arrange equipment for transportation of larvivorous fish to identified breeding sites Fishes liberated in the selected water bodies of the high endemic areas of the blocks. Before liberation IEC done in the villages through miking, postering, leaflets-distribution etc) Training of Health Workers, Personnel of Dept of Fisheries for stocking, transportation, introduction of larvivorous fish |
