Notes:

The National Deworming Day (NDD) is an initiative of Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare to make every child in the country worm free. The day is taken in every year on 10th of February to tackle worm infections among pre-school (anganwadi) and school-age children across India. On 8th of February 2019, Union Health Ministry conducted its 8th round of NDD across the country to reduce the prevalence of parasitic intestinal worms among children. During the programme, Albendazole tablets were orally administered to pre-school and school-going children in the age group of 1 to 19 years.
