NVBDCP

National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme

  • The National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) is an umbrella programme for prevention and control of vector borne diseases (VBDs), viz., Malaria, Lymphatic Filariasis, Kala-azar, Dengue, Chikungunya and Japanese Encephalitis (JE).
  • These diseases pose major public health problems and hamper socio-economic development.
  • Generally the rural, tribal and urban slum areas are inhabited mostly by people of socio-economic groups who are more prone to develop VBDs and are considered as high risk groups.
  • Although malaria was once nearly eradicated in India, it returned to the country with a vengeance in the late 1970s.
  • Today, malaria and other vector-borne diseases are the most widespread cause of death, disability and economic loss in India especially among the poor who have limited access to timely and effective treatment.
