The campaign brought forward some key insights
that only 34% of the Indian population have the habit of washing their hands
with soap; handwash prevents 30% of diarrhoea and 20% of the respiratory
infections among others. The special kids along with BIG RJs also sang the
special song composed by the radio station for the campaign, at the event.
Commenting on the noble cause, RJ
Balaji said, “I am glad to be a part
of this campaign. The problem of health and hygiene has to be addressed from
the roots and the best way to cater this is through kids who will spread the
word and cascade the idea. I hope more and more people will understand the
importance of washing hands with soap considering the health benefits
associated with it.”
The campaign received incredible response from the listeners. The radio
station has time and again come forward with such initiatives that help society
to grow at large.
