Campaigns

India Coming Together Against COVID-19 campaign, an RB and NDTV initiative, aims to provide a platform to highlight the works of the unsung heroes, NGOs and community leaders at the frontline of the hygiene battle against COVID-19.

It is a small effort to keep Indians well informed with medical facts and the news that matters the most in their daily lives during the current lock-down. A campaign of hope despite of all of us being isolated.

The campaign will recognise and acknowledge the unsung heroes who are at the forefront of this battle against the coronavirus – doctors, the police, community kitchens, the suppliers of essential commodities. Pan-India stories on the effort being made to combat the virus – narrated by the administrators, the police and government bodies. We will also showcase how hygiene and handwashing are critical in this fight against Novel Coronavirus.

Mohit Ahuja of Bikers For Good on #IndiaAgainstCOVID19 telethon:

We are a community in India and we ride for social causes. We want to change the stereotypes about the biker groups. When COVID outbreak began, not a lot of people were discussing handwashing, we took support from Dettol. Just a day before the lockdown, 15 of us from Bikers For Good went across Delhi and created awareness about proper handwash practices.

'It's time to introspect,' says Prasoon Joshi on #IndiaAgainstCOVID19 telethon

When we talk about standing together, we need to fight corona together. This is the time for humanity to unite. This is not the time to divide and blame, we need to focus on our country's fight against the virus. There's an opportunity here to learn a lot. We are also getting a chance to spend time with our family, I'm here in Delhi getting to spend time with my parents. We take a lot of things for granted so this is also a time for introspection. We should all be positive.

Actor Huma Qureshi on #IndiaAgainstCOVID19 telethon:

- It is a difficult situation but we are all in this together. I spend my time doing things like cooking, watching TV. But people out there are suffering even more, so we shouldn't be worried about spending time at home

- As soon as the lockdown is over, we will start the cinema halls and should ensure measures like sanitisation and social distancing in the theatre. We want to spread positivity. We need to ensure daily wage workers in film industry are also safeguarded.

Actor, Shruti Haasan on importance of mental health during lockdown:

This is an anxious time for everybody. There is different levels of anxiety for everyone. I'm thankful to be safe and at home. I'm aware of the sacrifices and situation out there, just like yourselves sitting in the studios. Anxiety and depression is a problem that can also arise from isolation. There are tons of hotlines working and helping people. I'm reaching out and helping people as much as I can.
