Explanation

Observed annually on February 10th, National Deworming Day is a national initiative launched by the Government of India. Its aim is to deworm all children in the country, between the ages of 1 to 19. Worms are detrimental parasites that reside in the human intestine, feeding and thriving off the nutrients meant for the human body. This leads to blood loss, malnutrition, and stunted growth.
