The LPU-NSS volunteers, in collaboration with Civil Hospital, Phagwara, Punjab, undertook a commendable initiative by organizing a three-day Pulse Polio Campaign as a part of National Immunisation Day (NID). They administered polio drops to children below five years at various locations including railway station and adopted villages. The active involvement of dedicated volunteers, combined with the support of the local community, played a crucial role in advancing the cause of polio eradication. This campaign not only contributes to national health goals but also underscores the importance of community engagement in achieving public health objectives.

The collaborative efforts between Civil Surgeon Jalandhar and LPU-NSS in orchestrating the Pulse Polio Campaign across various city areas are a remarkable initiative. LPU-NSS volunteers, with their technical expertise and dedication, have been instrumental in contributing to the noble cause of eradicating the polio disease. Their active participation in organizing and executing the campaign has helped ensure that vulnerable children receive the essential polio vaccine, protecting them from the debilitating effects of the disease.

By participating in the Pulse Polio Campaign, LPU-NSS and Civil Surgeon Jalandhar align with SDG 1's objective of eradicating poverty. The campaign's success in eliminating polio helps prevent the economic burden associated with polio-related disabilities and medical care, ultimately contributing to poverty reduction.

Moreover, the campaign also aligns with SDG 3's goal of ensuring good health and well-being for all. By administering the polio vaccine to children, the initiative contributes to reducing the prevalence of communicable diseases, improving child health, and preventing deaths and illnesses from polio.

This initiative has made a significant impact on the well-being and future of children, helping to create a healthier and more prosperous society for all.
