Project Brief:
The project aimed to study the present methods that the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation in Gujarat were taking to help preventing the disease Dengue from spreading across Ahmedabad and to design a health intervention package that would essentially communicate the messages that would help in Dengue Prevention in the city. As a result packaging for organic herbal mosquito repellant sticks were proposed as a solution to be distributed to residencies during the Dengue health intervention drives. A communication planning system was undertaken on how the mosquito repellant sticks would be carried to households and delivered with important messages to prevent Dengue would be high lighted on the packaging.
