WORLD HAND HYGINE DAY5th-8th May, 2015 at PGIMER, Sector 12,Chandigarh

We made a MASQOT PUPPET for PGIMER

WORLD HAND HYGINE DAY

Celebrations of World Hand Hygiene Day with PGIMER Chandigarh

Giant HAND Mascot Puppet Visited every OPD at PGIMER on 4th –

9th May, 2015 & share information with patients & common people

Giant Hand Puppet appeared as a

symbol CLEANLINESS in our play

“SAFAI ke kahani Cockroch ke zubani” in 2015

In our PLAY “HAND” was a HERO







In the month of April, 2015 we got an opportunity to make a LIFE-SIZED giant-puppet of

a “mascot” of WORLD HAND HYGIENE DAY…

As a reference we got few photos from Dr Usha Dutta, Department of

Gastroenterology, PGIMER, Chandigarh

“STORY OF MAKING HAND

GIANT PUPPET”

We got few ref. images from

Dr. Usha Dutta..

Now, where to start & How to

start ???

Now, the challenge was to make a 6 feet x 6 feet GIANT Mascot Puppet…who can walk

around PGIMER & interact with masses about HAND-HYGIENE..

Let’s brain-storm.. The “HAND” had to be worn by a person for few hours..

& at PGIMER’s OPD it had to meet patients & their attendants..

So we had to make it with a little light-weight & with lots of ventilators for the puppeteer

to breath easily..

After lots of brain-storming..basic sketch was prepared.. Ratio, Proportion, weight

distribution, Head space..eye hole/window were designed.. But which material will be

best.. So we tried HITLON FOAM..

Now we needed an armature to hold the MASCOT Giant Puppet (6 x 6 feet) When

puppeteer will wear it, it will appear approx 8 feet x 6 feet from the floor.. So we needed

a holder quite strong & stable… also puppeteer had to shake hands with public… so we

needed some space for movement for the puppeteer..

Atlast Giant-puppet was made & rocked in 2015-2016 at PGIMER &

stage-plays on HAND_HYGINE

Our sincere thanks to

Dr. Usha Dutta, Department

of Gastroenterology,

PGIMER

PNA The Puppet Theatre, Chandigarh

“CHALLENGING Project” possible..
