National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme – Directorate of National Vector Borne Disease Control Program-NVBDCP which was the focal nodal organization for the anticipation and control of vector-borne maladies i.e. Intestinal sickness, Dengue, Lymphatic Filariasis, Kala-azar, Japanese Encephalitis and Chikungunya in India. One of the Technical Departments with the Directorate General of Health Services which is formed by Government of India.
At the season of autonomy, there were an evaluated 75 million instances of jungle fever and 0.8 million passing’s because of intestinal sickness were being accounted for yearly. The legislature of India propelled National Jungle Fever Control Program (NMCP) in 1953. Under this program indoor remaining shower was being finished with DDT twice every year. Thusly, the rate of wilderness fever cases slid from 75 million cases in 1953 to 2 million cases in 1958 in India. In 1958 this control program was traded over to National Malaria Eradication Program (NMEP), under which at first every house in the State was to be showered with DDT twice every year. Later on, showering was with-drawn however perception practices were finished overwhelmingly. This went on however dynamically wilderness fever event began to rise. In Punjab State, the number of intestinal ailment cases went from 321 of each 1966 to 5 lacs in 1977.
Because of this set back to the program, a changed procedure was begun called “Adjusted Plan of Operation” (MPO) w.e.f. 1.4.1977. Under this, all the rustic populace and towns having under 40,000 populaces were under dynamic reconnaissance. Out of 10 Units, 9.65 zones went into upkeep and rest of the region of 0.35 Units in mix arrange in the midst of 1967. In light of the development of wilderness fever positive cases, the Government of India displayed Modified Plan of action from the year 1977-78. On the proposal of Government, the arrangement was introduced in the Punjab State and starting now and into the foreseeable future the arrangement is in nearness in the State on 50:50 sharing the reason. Under this arrangement, simply those sub-focal points of the squares will be secured for sprinkle, who having Annual Parasitic Index(API) is no less than 2 than 2. Under this arrangement, the Govt. of India gave the products (in kind) i.e. DDT half, Tab. Chloroquine, Primaquine 2.5mg and Primaquine 7.5 mg., and so on as its half offer.
Objective
Malaria:
- Jungle fever is a mind-boggling mosquito-borne irresistible ailment caused by a eukaryotic protist of the sort Plasmodium. It changes broadly in the study of disease transmission and clinical appearance in changed parts of the world. In India, Malaria is caused by Plasmodium falciparum or Plasmodium vivax transmitted by nine noteworthy types of anopheline mosquitoes.
- Jungle fever keeps on representing a noteworthy general wellbeing danger in various parts of the nation, especially because of Plasmodium falciparum as it is in some cases inclined to entanglements and passing, if not treated early.
- The real vector mosquito for provincial jungle fever viz. Anopheles culicifacies is conveyed everywhere throughout the nation and breeds in clean groundwater A portion of the vector species additionally breeds in woods territories, mangroves, tidal ponds, and so forth., even in those with natural poisons.
- Around 80% of intestinal sickness trouble is in North-eastern (NE) states, Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, West Bengal and Karnataka.
- The attention is on enabling grass-root laborers in diagnosing and treating intestinal sickness cases even in remote and open regions by scaling-up the accessibility of bivalent Rapid Diagnostic Kits (RDK) and Artemisinin-based Combination Therapy (ACT).
- There is a need to give a push for counteractive action/control of jungle fever (and other VBD likewise) in urban territories under the Urban Malaria Scheme which is by and by actualized in just 131 towns/urban communities. These endeavors combined with incorporated vector control systems including circulation of Long Lasting Insecticide Treated Nets (LLIN) in endemic regions will extraordinarily diminish the jungle fever grimness and mortality.
- Bi-valiant Rapid Diagnostic Kit for enhancing demonstrative offices for the two sorts of jungle fever (Plasmodium Falciparum and Plasmodium Vivax) in troublesome and blocked off zones have been presented in the program.
- The execution-based motivation for ASHAs in endemic regions for Malaria and Kala-azar has been presented in India.
Filariasis:
- Filariasis is transmitted by mosquito species i.e. Culex quinquefasciatus and Mansonia annulifera/M. uniforms. The vector mosquitoes breed in contaminated water in channels, cross pits and so forth in regions with deficient waste and sanitation.
- The objective year for the Global end of this ailment is by the year 2020. The National Health Policy (2002) has, be that as it may, visualized the end of lymphatic filariasis in India by 2015.
- The system of yearly Mass Drug Administration (MDA) with yearly single prescribed measurements of DEC + Albendazole tablets is being actualized in the nation since 2004. Moreover, scaling up of locally situated foot care and hydrocele task have been started for incapacity mitigation.
Kala-Azar:
- Kala-azar is caused by a protozoan parasite Leishmania donovani and spread by sandfly, which breeds in shady, sodden and warm places in breaks and hole in the delicate soil, in stonework and rubble stores, and so on.
- Essential late activities are taken to control Kala-azar incorporate case identification through quick analytic units and enhanced treatment consistency by utilizing oral medication Miltefosine.
- What’s more, remuneration to the patients for loss of wages and motivating force to ASHAs/volunteers for case identification and guaranteeing complete treatment have additionally been

Conclusion
The National Vector Borne Disease Control Program (NVBDCP) is a complete program for aversion and control of vector-borne ailments to be specific Malaria, Filaria, Kala-azar, Japanese Encephalitis (JE), Dengue and Chikungunya which is secured under the general umbrella of NRHM.
