@shikhakumari.paharin from our Community Health Action Group (CHAT) engineered a vaccination camp in the village of Dhagoda Pahad in #Jharkhand's Sahibganj district.

She worked with the local District Collector (DC) Ram Nivas Yadav over a 90-day period to organise resources and encourage the village to take the #vaccine. Shikha was helped by the village sarpanch Ravindra Pahadia and #ANM Neelima Soren in spreading awareness about the vaccination camp.

CHAT group members Shikha and Pinki Murmu also helped the local health officials in all formalities and paperwork related to the vaccine, including the issuance of a vaccination card. "If you don't have a vaccination card, you would face difficulties getting ration here," said Shikha.

A total of 44 people - 24 in the 45+ age category and 20 in the 18+ age category - received the vaccine on 20th July. Seven among the 45+ age category got their second dose making them fully vaccinated.💉💉

A nearby village's 56 residents have also expressed their desire to get vaccinated. CHAT group members Shikha and Pinki are working with the DC to get the vaccination camp to this and several other villages.

Local women from #Kumargram, who work as tea garde

Local women from #Kumargram, who work as tea garden workers in the Kumargram tea estate, were on their way to a local gathering when our Community Correspondent Puja Thakur met them on their way. Dressed in beautiful traditional wear, the tea garden workers were on their way to a local meeting where more than 200 people had gathered to address the issue of domestic violence and alcoholism in the tea gardens.

None of the dance performers were wearing masks and their attitude towards #COVID19 protocols were more on the relaxed side. Not only did Puja distribute masks and sanitised their hands but also made them aware of the fact that lifting of the lockdown does not mean that the pandemic is over.

While lockdown has been lifted in #WestBengal, market restrictions - which attract a lot of crowd in a small, congested space - are still in place and are not allowed to open beyond noon.

Rumors about #Coronavirus, its spread, and its rem

Rumors about #Coronavirus, its spread, and its remedies have been spreading right from the time the viral disease hit the country in March 2020. In remote areas of #WestBengal, where there is less awareness and #education, the problem of people believing in rumors about the disease and now, about the vaccine is even more rampant.

Video Volunteers CCs from the tea gardens of West Bengal have joined hands to run a coordinated campaign 'Jaan Jao, Jaan Bachao' to spread right and official information amongst the 3,00,000 people that live in 130 tea gardens of West Bengal.

Join us in this fight against #COVID19.

Do you know what is happening in Madhya Pradesh?

Do you know what is happening in Madhya Pradesh?

ASHA workers and other frontline health workers from 35 districts have been on strike demanding better pay and protective equipment to do their job.
They have been working tirelessly since last year doing surveys, spreading awareness about the virus and encouraging people to get vaccinated.

During the 2nd wave their insurance cover was also taken, making them more vulnerable during this tuff time and exposing them and their families to the virus.

We believe ASHA workers are the real covid warriors and they should get their due.

Ever since the #secondwave hit India, our CCs have been on the ground working to provide relief to the marginalized sections of the community. Video Volunteers CC mentor @rohinipawar02 and the gram panchayat of Walhe, (near Pune) worked hard to start a Covid Care Centre in this village, and finally, it's here!

Inaugurated on 14 June 2021, the #COVID care facility saw all stakeholders present along with doctors from the local PHC and a private hospital present to train ANMs and ASHA workers on how to provide care to COVID patients, especially those requiring oxygen support.

Our Community Correspondents from different states

Our Community Correspondents from different states of #India are working to provide relief material to marginalised communities. A large number of people have received ration kits, masks and sanitisers. Sanitation workers, who have been working without protective equipment, were provided with PPE kits.

However, a large section of people, devoid of any government ID cards, are unable to receive benefits rolled out by the government. This is where non-government organisations like @videovolunteers step in and bridge the gap.

Our Community Correspondent Laxmi Garg alongwith her friends from Agrim Samaj Sevi Sanstha organised a vaccination camp for residents of Shivpuri in #MadhyaPradesh.

She coordinated with the Chief Medical Health Officer of the district and was provided with staff, vaccines and registration slots to help vaccinate more than 100 people in her locality.

Now, Laxmi and her friends plan to scale up this initiative and include daily wage workers, street vendors, sanitation workers, small shopkeepers and auto rickshaw drivers in the second phase of the vaccination drive.
