Protecting over 2 million Families in 112 Aspirational Districts from COVID-19
The second campaign from the Aspirational District Collaborative, Surakshit Hum Surakshit Tum Abhiyaan aims to protect 2 Million families in 112 Aspirational Districts from the devastating impact of the COVID-19 second wave.
India is witnessing the world's sharpest spike in new COVID-19 cases, and the pandemic is raging unabated in rural areas. Lack of awareness, infrastructure and deficiency of life-saving resources is putting families in Aspirational Districts at greater risk.
6.09% of total COVID cases and 5.3% of total deaths are in Aspirational Districts (ADs)
