Role of NGOsNGOs work as a catalyst between Govt. & Community. Their involvement is essential in removing misbelief in the community. In Maharashtra, no NGO is working exclusively in Japanese Encephalitis/Viral Encephalitis field so far. Hence 2 NGOs per district who are working in other health sectors have been identified for their active involvement under EMCP. Their proposed area of operation will be to see treatment seeking behaviour of community, their participation during indoor residual spraying, feasibility study of social marketing of mosquito bednets and creation of awareness in biological control of Japanese Encephalitis/Viral Encephalitis, etc. Detailed methodology, probable assistance to NGOs and other modalities is being worked out at the State level.
