This will be supported by a Knowledge and learning hub (prachicp.com/youngwarriors/) with indexed state-specific information tools and blended learning modules that are adolescent and youth-friendly.
Finally, the key messages and positive stories of youth action will be promoted on social media through partners and influencers, it added.
“Times are tough for everyone especially students. They have not met their friends for over a year now. This is a positive way to engage them. We need students to become warriors and help the world. Children can fight this virus in this way but spreading positive stories.”
