    At HMI Inter College, it was flagged off by Surinder Singh, Police Inspector (Nehtaur city), and he assured police cooperation in HEPT’s awareness campaign.

    To maximise the impact of the rally, the Health Volunteers carried placards and distributed leaflets. Along with the Health Volunteers, students and teachers of HMI Inter College and Government Girls Inter College and people from different walks of life — all wearing blue badges — participated in the rally.

    Citing a report of Indian Council of Medical Research, Ghizal Mahdi, Secretary HEPT, told in his address to the rally that today in India, 10 crore 10 lakh and 13 crore 60 lakh people suffer from diabetes and pre-diabetes respectively, making a total of 23 crore 70 lakh patients.

However, U.P. has 18% pre-diabetics against the national average of 15.3%. Earlier, diabetes was largely limited to those living in cities, but now 66% belong to the hinterland.

    In their addresses, Bilal Zaidi, Principal H.M.I. Inter College, Babita Rani, Principal, Government Girls Inter College, Charan Singh Sharma, former principal, S.N.S.M. Inter College, urged the people to avail the facility of free testing at the ‘Diabetes and Blood Pressure Screening and Counseling Center’ at Mahdi Villa.
