  3. Role IEC in Total Sanitation Campaign • Information, Education and Communication are tools for creating awareness • The underlying principle is “Seeing is Believing” • Total Sanitation Campaign is a movement of the people for the people and by the people • Success of TSC depends upon the level of awareness of the people

  4. The Concept Rational for choosing school as a platform • The school children are future citizens and makers of Modern India • School Children are the most receptive audience for IEC tools • Health, hygiene and nutrition are key activities at school & are complementary to education

  5. Tools of IEC • Verbal and non verbal means of communication • Audio visual means are more effective than hoardings and wall paintings • Street play, Bhavai and folk songs designed to suit local language, customs and issues

  6. Bal Adalat • A mock trial court for the sanitation issues • Role play by students: judge, prosecutor, witnesses, two or three accused and a small set of properties like a table and chair • Trial begins with the charge on the accused for not washing hand before meal or using toilet, not cleaning toilet after use or not cutting nail etc. • The judge hears the accused, examines the witnesses and finally delivers judgment and punishment such as duty to water the plants for few days, assist in cleaning school toilet or read out some useful story on sanitation at the prayer assembly • The Adalat concludes with a song or pledge on Sanitation

  7. Other tools of IEC through schools • Swacchata na Garba or Kawalli • Prabhat feri • Swacchata Doot (award to clean and well dressed student) • Mass sanitation campaign (Samuha Safai)

The Impact • Regular organizing of the Bal Adalat and Swacchata Songs have created awareness about personal hygiene among students • Occasional performance in presence of the parents also helped fulfilling the objectives of TSC such as, Improved personal hygiene • Messages for washing hands before meal and after use of toilet, regular nail cutting and keeping room clean have been translated into habits and shown a positive impact on overall health and hygiene • Bal Adalat campaign has assisted in earning 174 NGP awards in the district
