Abstract | Hygiene refers to conditions and practices that help to maintain health and prevent the spread of diseases (WHO). The main purpose of the present work is to study the general awareness of self and surrounding hygiene among the Kanwar tribe of Chhattisgarh. Kanwar is one of the largest tribal groups of Chhattisgarh, residing mainly in Raigarh, Surguja, Korba, Janjgir-Champa, Bilaspur, Dhamtari, Mahasamund, Korea, Raipur and Kabirdham districts of Chhattisgarh. Total 181 Kanwar individuals of age group 30-70 yrs have been selected through random sampling from Korba district of Chhattisgarh. In the present study, several hygienic practices such as location of cattle shed, frequency of cleaning cattleshed, disposal of waste , frequency of regular bathing, regular brushing of teeth, awareness regarding hand wash after toilet and before meal, frequency of changing clothes and undergarments and so on, are taken into consideration. Among the Kanwar individuals, 96.6 % responded to cleanliness of home surrounding as the main concept of hygiene. Most of them (55.24%) have their cattle shed outside the houses and they used to clean it, once in every couple of days(68.5 %). More than half of the respondents (51.38 %) throw the garbages in dig. They are found well aware regarding hand wash after toilet(98.3 %) and before meal(71.2 %). Most of the Kanwar people (67.90 %) depend on well for drinking water throughout the year. In the light of above findings, it is quite clear that they have sufficient knowledge regarding hygienic practices and also, they are well aware of the cleanliness, which, in turn, reflects their good hygienic condition. It is suggested that atleast one pump house should be there in the village, so that their dependency on well as a source of drinking water could be reduced. |
