In Jharkhand, programs like Umang Diwas have been discussed regarding adolescent health and welfare. Even in districts like Garhwa, there is a need to provide correct information related to health, hygiene, nutrition and safe behavior to the teenagers.
Doctors say silence on sexual and reproductive health sometimes promotes misinformation. If teenagers get age-appropriate scientific and sensitive information, they can avoid rumors and risky decisions.
By running awareness programs through schools, Anganwadi centers and health sub-centres, both boys and girls can learn safe and responsible behaviour.
