Ever since the lockdown happened due to the Coronavirus pandemic, millions of migrants rushed to their home states. With migrants reaching their villages, the chances of the spread of Covid-19 was at its peak. Lakshya Subodh, a student of Class 11 from Bengaluru, decided to step in help rural women combat Covid-19 in the villages. This is when he came up with his ‘Covid Curriculum’ to impart knowledge to rural women folk and youth to who would then teach others on the do’s and don’ts of the virus. Subodh said his main concern while developing the curriculum was to educate them about Covid-19 in a fun and engaging manner. He has so far along with a few others reached some 5000 women and youth and held many video sessions. His next step is to partner with NGOs to take this to many regions and states across the nation. But he believes, it is the youth who will and must play an active role.
