The Personal and Environmental Hygiene and Development project (PEHD), a community based programme being implemented in 50 selected panchayaths in the districts by the Child Development Centre (CDC), Medical College, was formally dedicated to people at a function here on Wednesday. The project is part of the CDC's attempts to sensitise the community about health care, including pre-school and adolescent care. Already 6,000 people, including anganawadi workers, Kudumbasree volunteers, literacy workers, health workers and members of local bodieas are involved in the training programmes which focus on the importance of maintaing environmental hygiene.
