World Leprosy Day @ 31 january 2021


 

World Leprosy Day is observed on the last Sunday of January every year.

This date was chosen by French humanitarian Raoul Follereau as a tribute to the life of Mahatma Gandhi who had compassion for people afflicted with leprosy.

Leprosy is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae, an acid-fast, rod-shaped bacillus. The disease mainly affects the skin, the peripheral nerves, mucosa of the upper respiratory tract, and the eyes. Leprosy is curable and treatment in the early stages can prevent disability.

     B.Ed internship training held for about 16 weeks period, from November 1st , 2021 to February 28,2022.  It was a very nice experience as a student teacher of R.M.P C.S.I. P.S.K.
