The Uttarakhand government has launched the scheme across the state schools to conduct regular heath check up of children and provide them the corrective treatment.

The programme to be run under the National Rural health mission, in the higher primary government schools. Teams of doctors, paramedical staff and community mobilizers would be set up in each district, which would also include personnel from the Health Department. A coordinator would be appointed on contract basis at the divisional level to coordinate with the officials. The Chief medical Officer and Additional District Education Officer would be the Nodal Officers of the scheme. The teams set up under this scheme would tour at least 24 primary schools in a month and conduct check up of the students. On a monthly basis, each team would examine 150 children in the hill areas and 200 in the plain areas of the state. The students would also be issued health cards under the Chirayu scheme. The responsibility of health check up of the students would rest with the Principal.
