When the nation locked itself inside houses, When no one could even understand what was going on all around, People started panic buying of groceries, face masks and sanitizers, Things went out of control so quickly & explosively that the entire global population was unprepared for, there were some people who came out of the closed walls of their houses so as to contribute their bit to the society and the human race. They were known as the Corona Warriors or the Covid Warriors.
When we were busy saving our lives isolating ourselves from the world in our respective houses, they were silently working to save the world from the deadly virus.
SHG Women from Chandanpur Village of Lanjigarh Block with the support of Vedanta CSR and Mahashakti Foundation started stitching masks and sold them at a reasonable rate of Rs 5 each so that every citizen of Odisha will have an access to face masks as government made it compulsory to use while stepping out of the house. The shortage of face masks was a clear trouble from the beginning. But panic buying of the masks made the situation even worse. Some shops even started black marketing. To have a check on this, and to have a little income even in the lockdown period to sustain their families, they started making face masks and distributed them in different villages.
Sometimes we forget to give as much credit we should to the people who are working tirelessly to save us during this pandemic. But we respect you, we respect your selflessness. You people are the Real Corona Warriors. And we at Mahashakti, are proud to be a part of your lives and Journey
