An awareness programme conducted regarding the microworld in drinking water by checking the presence of planktons in the water sample using foldscope. The programme was coordinated by the Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad (Kssp) activists of Keralassery Panchayath as part of “The complete health village programme”.

We have visited 8 wells. Collected the water sample, prepared slides and shown to the members of each house. Thus we could get a chance to aware the public about the microorganisms in the water, harmful and helpful ones, the importance of chlorination, filtration and boiling of the drinking water etc.
