Introduction: 

•Adolescence is a very important stage in each person’s life.It is characterized by many      

 physical,psychological and   emotional changes.It is also a period of confusion and rebelliousness  among the individuals.  

•Adolescents constitute 22% of the country’s population.They require attention, guidance and  friendly counseling.Without    awareness of the changes, the reason for changes and guidance on  making the right choices, they often fall prey to vices and  unsafe sex resulting in unwanted  pregnancies.

•It is to be noted that the country has a huge burden of vector-borne diseases which are largely related  to poor drainage,   solid waste management and lack of education and use of even the available  infrastructure. 

•The need of the time is to educate, empower and create awareness among adolescents – male and  females irrespective of   education,location or religion.They must be guided in a way that they find  interesting and applicable in real life.
