Considering the importance, provision was kept to provide a day long primary health and personal hygiene training to 2000 families. Accordingly, 2000 families (1000 families in Kathalia Upazila and 1000 families in Uzirpur Upazila) were provided training on primary health and personal hygiene. Now the families are well aware of primary health and personal hygiene and practicing in their daily lives.

Considering the importance, provision was kept to provide a day long disaster preparedness and management training to 2000 families. Accordingly 2000 families (1000 families in Kathalia Upazila and 1000 families in Uzirpur Upazila) were provided training on disaster preparedness and management.
