Unnat Bharat Abhiyan Team of SLC:
The UBA, SLC team has also worked with and helped the adopted villages during COVID-19 pandemic in following ways: poster and video circulation about maintaining hygiene and sanitation. A poster in English as well in Hindi was circulated in these groups. This poster was a beautiful culmination of pictures and information required to spread awareness among the people about safeguards against COVID-19. The poster was designed in such a way that even the graphics in the poster could help people understand the objective behind creating it, thus fulfilling our objective of reaching the masses, especially the ones who find it difficult to read.
