On the occasion of World Polio Day, the Rotary Club of Biratnagar Downtown organized an awareness rally to raise awareness about polio. The rally started from Rotary Bhawan and covered key areas of Biratnagar’s main market, with participation from all five Rotary clubs in the city, along with Rotaractors and Interactors. Approximately 200 people took part in the event. To further spread awareness, a Polio awareness video was displayed outside Central Mall and City Cinema, and a polio jingle was played throughout the rally. Refreshments were provided to everyone who attended after the rally.
The total cost of the event was 7,166 NPR. This rally successfully helped raise awareness about polio among various groups, including children, parents, guardians, health workers, government officials, and policymakers. The initiative contributed to the global effort to eradicate polio, promoting vaccination and strengthening public health efforts, which are crucial for building a polio-free world.
