Sajik Battalion of 28 Sector Assam Rifles under the aegis of HQ IGAR (South) organised a Healthy Baby Competition at Assam Rifles ground, Sajik Tanpak in Chandel District, Manipur on 08 Jun 2018 .
The event's aim was to educate parents on proper immunisation of child, healthy food habits and family planning.
The competition was categorized in three age groups i.e.newborn to six months, six months to 12 months and one year to two years.
Over 50 participants from surrounding villages underwent the basic medical checkup to include weight, height and oral hygiene.

The importance of timely immunisation was highlighted by the Unit Medical Staff and the parents were quizzed regarding awareness on common diseases, vaccination, oral hygiene and benefits from various food supplements.
This is the first exposure to young mothers on structured health education.
Importance of balanced diet and vaccination for the young ones was emphasised.
The effort of the Battalion was whole heartedly appreciated by the locals and the distribution of soft toys to all participants brought great cheer to the tiny tots.

The positive energy and bonhomie between the Sajik Battalion and locals is bringing new life to the Valley who vow to support the Battalion in all their endeavors.
The positive ripples created by the synchronised efforts of Sajik Battalion and the population are now being felt far and away, which will finally yield development for the area and help in preventing any act of violence by the insurgents in the Kana Valley.
