    Hearty Congratulations and Grateful Thanks to ICYM, Mangalore Varado, for the excellent initiative. Keep up the good work. ICYMs in other, specially in rural, areas could also think of such initiatives as they will be very useful in combating this pendemic. In future the the Primary Health Centres have to play a very important role in preventive aspects of health care and all parish ICYM units should take interest in their work by constant interactions with them. All these years PHCs were completely ignored by policy makers and citizens of means. Only now there is some awareness about them and we should work to strengthen them. Certainly, ICYM can play an effective role in this regard.
