Rashtriya Kishor Swasthya Karyakram (RKSK), is a plan by the Indian government to take care of teenagers' health. But there's a problem - not many people know about it. I'm going to talk about one big issue: many teens and their families don't know RKSK exists. This prevents the program from working well.

Problem: People Don't Know About RKSK

One problem with RKSK is that many teens and families don't know what it is. They don't know that RKSK offers health help for teenagers. This can stop teenagers from getting the help they need and making their lives better.

Solution: Using media to tell everyone

To help with this, we can use media. Media is things like TV, radio, and social media. Here's how we can use media to tell more people about RKSK:

1. TV and Radio Shows: We can work with TV and radio to make short shows about RKSK. These shows can tell people what RKSK does, how it helps, and stories of teens who got better with RKSK's help.

2. Social Media: Lots of teens use social media. We can make pages and posts about RKSK on social media. This way, teens can learn about RKSK and how it can make their lives healthier.

3. Community News: Some people read newspapers or listen to community radio. We can share stories about RKSK in these places. This can help people in small towns and villages learn about RKSK.

4. Phone Apps and Messages: We can make an app for phones that talks about RKSK. People can use the app to know more about RKSK and when to go for health check-ups. We can also send messages to remind people about their health check-ups.

5. Workshops and Online Talks: We can have meetings in schools or on the internet to talk about RKSK. We can explain what it does and answer questions. This can help teens and families understand RKSK better.

6. Movies and Shows: Teens watch movies and shows. We can put RKSK in these stories. When teens see characters using RKSK, they might want to know more about it.

So, using media like TV, radio, social media, and more can help more people know about RKSK. This way, teens and families can understand how RKSK can make their lives healthier. Let's use media to tell everyone and make RKSK work better for everyone.
