The National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) was established in 2003 to consolidate prevention and control of six vector-borne diseases: malaria, dengue, chikungunya, Japanese encephalitis, kala-azar, and filariasis. Previously, these diseases were managed under separate national programs. NVBDCP oversees strategies like indoor residual spraying, early diagnosis and treatment, selective vector control, and health education campaigns. National malaria elimination efforts since the 1950s have significantly reduced cases but ongoing transmission remains a challenge.

2.  National Malaria Eradication Programme
(NMEP) which was being implemented in the
country since 1958, was reviewed in 1977 and
revised guidelines for Modified Plan of
Operation (MPO) were issused to all States &
UTs

3.  Due to various outbreaks in the country
malaria situation was reviewed in 1994 by an
Expert Committee.
 In pursuance of the Expert Committee's
recommendations, the Directorate of NMEP
brought out operational manual for Malaria
Action Programme (MAP) in 1995

4.  The Directorate of NMEP was renamed as
Directorate of National Anti Malaria
Programme (NAMP) in March, 1999.
 Directorate of NAMP was dealing with three
centrally sponsored schemes namely Malaria,
Filaria and Kala-azar control and in addition,
was looking after the prevention and control
of Dengue and Japanese Encephalitis.

5.  With a view to converge Dengue/Dengue
Haemorrhagic fever and Japanese
Encephalitis with the three on-going centrally
sponsored schemes [National Anti-Malaria
Programme (NAMP), National Filaria Control
Programme (NFCP) and Kala-azar Control
Programme], the integrated scheme was
renamed as National Vector Borne Disease
Control Programme (NVBDCP) from 2nd
December, 2003.

6.  In 2006, Chikungunya re-emerged in the
country and this was also brought within the
purview of Directorate of NVBDCP.

7. • Earlier the Vector Borne Diseases were managed
under separate National Health Programs
• NVBDCP is an umbrella program for prevention
and control of 6 vector borne diseases namely:
 Malaria
 Dengue
 Chikungunya
 Japanese Encephalitis
 Kala-Azar
 Filaria (Lymphatic Filariasis)

8.  Launched in India -1953
 ACTION- Indoor residual spray of DDT in endemic
areas.
 RESULT- 80% of reduction in Malaria cases.
 Launched in India -1958
 ACTION- Programme in various phases.
(Preparatory, Attack , Maintenance)
 RESULT- Early beginning successful very high, late set back.

10.  Modified plan of action (1977)
OBJECTIVE :
 Prevent death
 Reduce morbidity
 Maintain Industrial and Agricultural
production.
OUTCOMES:
 Brought down then 2.18 million in 1984 and
remain stable in 2 million up to 1993.
Again number of death increased.

11.  Government of India adopted in 1994
OBJECTIVES:
 Management of critical complicated cases of
Malaria.
 Check death in high risk groups.
 Reduce morbidity rate.
 Checking malaria endemic.
 Limiting cases of drug resistance.
WORK POLICY:
 Finding and treating.
 Controlling of parasite.
 Indentifying primary areas.

12.  Launched in 1971
OBJECTIVES:
 Adopting recurrent antilarval measure in
urban areas.
 Indentifying malaria cases with help of
available system and health workers.
 Controlling malaria through treatment.

13.  Launched in 1997
COMPONENTS:
 Early diagnosis and prompt treatment.
 Selective vector control and indivisual
protection.
 Information, Education, Communication.
 Developing capacity against infection.
 Epidemic planning and rapid response

14.  In 2010, India is on 18th
position in total
reported cases in the world and 21st
position
in total world death of Malaria.
 85% cases from Odisha, Rajasthan,
Chhattisgarh, Madhya pradesh, Tripura,
Andhra pradesh, Gujurat, Maharastra, West
Bengal, Assam.

15.  Launched in 1955
MEASURES:
 Assessing the extend of problem of filaria.
 Treating and Diagnosed cases with DEC.
 Continuing the disease control through
antilarval and anti parasitic programme in
urban areas.

16.  Launched in 1990-91
Goals:
 To eradicate 2010;
Actions:
 Reduce number of vector and the
transmission by sprinkling of chemical
twice /year.
 Primary diagnosis and treatment.
 Providing health education for protection
against disease.
