Project SKAR, an initiative undertaken by four global students, aims to decrease the impact of COVID-19. The pandemic forced them to return to India and this inspired their vision to fight COVID-19 at the root. The four students (Sarabjyot, Karamjyot, Avneesh, and Rishika) were driven by their passion to make a difference by helping the frontline fighters.
They realised that ‘Prevention is Better than Cure’ to fight the pandemic. While the rest of the country supported by staying home, our frontline workers have been showcasing the true fighting spirit by being on the ground for us. Therefore, Project SKAR focused on the distribution of protective gear like face shields and masks to healthcare workers, policemen, cleaners, etc. They even extended their support to small shop owners, slum residents, watchmen, and vegetable vendors by distributing face shields. In spite of distributing 50,000 masks and shields across eleven cities in India like Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Baroda, Daman, Vapi, Rudrapur, Panipat, Gurgaon, Haryana, and Pune, their vision was to do more.
