Covid-19 Activities
COVID-19 has been declared as a pandemic by WHO on 11th March as it is spreading so fast across the world. Today, many countries including ours are suffering from the outbreak COVID-19 pandemic. In India also the spread of Corona virus is on increase. In view of anticipated threat, the country is under lockdown from 25th March onwards and literally the mobility of the people across the country has been stalled.
The COVID-19 crisis has already disrupted our entire economic structure, making marginalized sections much more vulnerable and helpless and therefore there is a need for both humanitarian aid and a healthcare response. The people who dependent on daily labour for the living has suddenly become jobless and even many were stranded in different locations due to lack of transport facility.
Self- protection with simple measures like wearing face mask, proper hand washing and social distancing is said to be the most successful steps to control the spread of deadly virus. In this crucial situation, in the regard, as we are partnered with you in fighting against Corona we have given awareness on dos & don’ts, Social distancing &Personal Hygiene in 149 villages along with display of banners/flex in the few villages. We gave awareness through Auto Canvassing with a loudspeaker. We got permission from District Legal Service Authority, Koppal for awareness programme in Koppal district.
