Consumer health and hygiene company Reckitt announced the second edition of Dettol Hygiene Olympiad under its flagship campaign Dettol Banega Swasth India. Aimed at building awareness around the importance hygiene plays in the prevention of illnesses among children, this initiative offers an interactive platform for children to learn about hygiene and healthy habits.
According to company officials, the event will span all 28 States and eight Union Territories across the country. The initiative will also engage with students in 2,500 Gurukuls and other religious education schools, incorporating Sanskrit translations to ensure accessibility to a diverse audience. The offline examination is scheduled from September 4 to 15, providing children aged six to 16 years an impetus to explore the connection among hygiene, health and safeguarding their family. One winner will be announced from each State and Union Territory and select winners will be felicitated in person at the launch of Dettol Banega Swasth India Season 10.
Executive vice president, Reckitt – South Asia, Gaurav Jain said, “At Reckitt, we believe knowledge is power and in this context, knowledge about hygiene can go a long way in helping children understand the importance of health and well-being. The outcome of the first edition of Dettol Hygiene Olympiad has inspired us to take our second edition a notch higher and we are confident that it will have an even greater impact this year by reaching over 30 million kids.”
