2. Introduction
National Vector Borne Disease Control Program (NVBDCP)
is implemented in the States/UTs for prevention and control of
vector borne diseases (VBDs) namely Malaria, Dengue,
Chikungunya, Filariasis, Japanese Encephalitis (JE) and Kala-
azar
The Directorate of NVBDCP is the nodal agency for planning,
policy making, technical guidance and monitoring and
evaluation of program implementation in respect of prevention
and control of these vector borne diseases under the overall
umbrella of NHM.
Dengue, Chikungunya and JE are known as outbreak prone
VBDs

4. Strategy for prevention & control of
Malaria:
Early diagnosis and complete treatment
Vector Control Strategies (Indoor Residual Spray (IRS),
LLINs, fish, chemical and bio- larvicide, source reduction)
Supportive intervention including behaviour change
communication (BCC), public private partnership and inter-
sectoral convergence, human resource development through
capacity building, operational research
5. Strategies for prevention & control of
Dengue & Chikungunya
Surveillance - Disease and Entomological Surveillance
Case management - Laboratory diagnosis and Clinical
management
Vector management - Environmental management for Source
Reduction, Chemical control, Personal protection and Legislation
Outbreak response - Epidemic preparedness and Media
management
Capacity building - Training, strengthening human resource and
Operational research
Behaviour Change Communication - Social mobilization and
Information Education and Communication (IEC)
Inter-sectoral coordination - Health, Urban Development, Rural
Development, Panchayati Raj, Surface Transport and Education
sector
Monitoring and Supervision - Analysis of reports, review, field
visit and feedback
6. Strategies for elimination of Kala-Azar
Parasite elimination and disease management
Early case detection and complete treatment.
Strengthening of referral;
Integrated vector control
Indoor Residual Spraying (IRS),
Environmental management by maintenance of sanitation and
hygiene and provision of pucca houses in Kala-azar affected
villages PMAY-G.
Supportive interventions
Behaviour Change Communication for social mobilization,
Inter-sectoral convergence,
Capacity building by training and Monitoring and Evaluation.
7. Elimination Strategies for Lymphatic
Filariasis
Twin pillar strategy adopted for elimination.
Annual Mass Drug Administration
Morbidity Management & Disability Prevention
(MMDP)
Implementation of Triple Drug
Therapy(IDA(Ivermectin+DEC+Albendazole))
8. Strategies for prevention & control of
Japanese Encephalitis
JE Vaccination
Disease and vector surveillance
Laboratory diagnosis through sentinel sites in government/private
medical colleges and hospitals
Case management
Capacity building
BCC/IEC
