Global Handwashing Day is celebrated on October 15, 2015. It is an annual global advocacy day dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding about the importance of handwashing with soap as an easy, effective and affordable way to prevent diseases and save lives. This year’s theme for Global Handwashing Day is “Raise a hand for hygiene” ! Students of SMD (SMART MINDS DESTINATION) Sec-2 Pkl also raised a hand on this day. They were motivated to wash their hands with soap before and after every meals. A moral talk on personal hygiene was given to the students in the morning assembly. Many activities were conducted to inculate the habit of washing hands at regular intervals.
