When COVID-19 hit the country, it was an additional task for Ranjana Dwivedi to communicate the repercussions of the deadly virus to the villagers. However, creativity came to her rescue. She would create fictional stories and characters to convey the message, draw posters detailing the causes, protocols, and medications related to the coronavirus.

Ms Dwivedi's work has been acknowledged by National Public Radio, an international organisation based in the United States. She was among the 19 women selected globally, and the only one from India as one of the most influential females working towards the fight against COVID-19.
