Major unawareness of the same amongst the youth and elders didn’t come as a big shock thus the educating initiative about the dangers of the disorder were offered in the best possible manner. Other activities included explaining the procedure of testing. “Whereas Delhi and Gurgaon turned out to end on an impactful note, Noida didn’t seem to have a similar response. From villagers being unaware about it, I decided to spread Hindi pamphlets to explain the cures, symptoms and ways of getting tested,” adds Praneel.
