Not witchcraft, awareness will end Corona
The whole country is constantly battling the havoc of Corona. Even though many states of the country are adopting the process of unlocking when the figures are low, but the hope of normalcy is still not visible far and wide. First Delta and now Delta Plus variants have raised concerns from government to scientists. For almost a year, people have been fighting a battle for life and death against Corona. Just a few months ago, the fierce outbreak of Corona in the country has broken so much among the people that after losing their loved ones, they could not even give them a respectful last farewell.
There are reports of statistics every day in the country, but only that person can understand its pain, whose own figures are included in these figures. Although all the state governments from the center were doing their best to fight the worsening conditions due to this epidemic, but our weak health infrastructure proved insufficient to fight it, due to which the death toll increased rapidly. During this, the role of the High Courts and Supreme Court of many states was also commendable, so many institutions and individuals also went ahead and made an incomparable contribution in saving humanity.
The second wave of Corona has shown its fierce form in the cities as well as in the rural areas of the country. Due to which the death toll in the country has also increased rapidly. Compared to the first wave, this time the rural areas also came under the grip of Corona. According to one figure, the corona virus was spread in rural areas of 13 states of the country. These include Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Chhattisgarh, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Jammu and Kashmir, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Bihar, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh. In the new cases of infection, the rural areas here have left the urban areas behind. The increasing figures indicate that there is an urgent need to adopt such measures, so that the coming crisis can be controlled in time. Even before the second wave of corona stops, the discussion of its third wave is in full swing, in which the risk of infection in children is being told. Although experts are still not unanimous on this issue, but in spite of this, there is a need to prepare for the coming crisis by learning from the disaster of the second wave of Corona.
According to a news, women in villages related to them including Makrana, Mangalana, Boravad of Nagaur in Rajasthan are using witchcraft to save children from the third wave of corona. Here work is being done to remove the Lavan (lavan) of children below the age of 18 years. So that the children do not see the corona virus, women, while asking for a vow, light a wick filled with oil and take off the eyes. This program lasts for about 15 minutes, in which the elders of the house including the children sit with great enthusiasm. The surprising thing is that the fear of Corona has revived many traditions, of which Lavan dusting is also one.
However, the central government is constantly trying to save the children from this disaster. It is also working with all the state governments to coordinate in this direction. Keeping in mind the future of the children, where online classes are being run, the examinations of class X and XII were canceled. Apart from this, the work of clinical trials for children’s vaccine has also started from Delhi to Patna and in many parts of the country. It is expected that before any other disaster strikes, the work of vaccination for the first children will also start. So that the lives of the elderly and youth as well as young people from the city to the rural areas can be saved. But before that it is important to make people aware. Especially to prepare the rural areas of the country with scientific thinking towards Corona, to tell them the benefits of the vaccine, to remove their doubts about the vaccine, to make them aware of any rumors being spread about it so that they become superstitious. Save yourself and your children’s lives.
One of the positives with disasters is that they tend to speed up the process of recovery. When there was a shortage of milk for the children in the country, the hunger of the young children was quenched by the White Revolution. When there was no food in the country, then through the Green Revolution, people were provided with plenty of food grains. At the same time, economic reforms were implemented when there was economic poverty. Learning from all these things, now is the time to step towards the health revolution, for this, there is a need to awaken the people from the city to the village level so that they can defeat the corona scientifically instead of dusting.

In such a situation, there was no information about corona infection tests in rural areas. Trained lab workers, doctors, well-equipped hospitals, lack of oxygen and medicines in the villages have brought the problem to this level. Apart from this, people were also unaware of the symptoms of corona due to lack of awareness, due to which they are resorting to mild cough syrup for cold and cough. At the same time, for the villagers, their medicine shopkeeper is the doctor, under whose supervision he was getting his half-incomplete treatment.
But what hurt the rural areas the most was their superstition. Due to lack of education, people started looking at this epidemic with the eyes of superstition instead of medical point of view. Instead of getting its treatment, started considering it as a divine wrath and instead of vaccine, started looking for ways to remove it through religious rituals. Instead of adopting social distancing, the careless villagers were engaged in marriage and other activities due to the danger of this disease. The government and the administration have also fulfilled their end by sending messages through advertisements instead of following social distancing on the ground. Superstition and carelessness demolished all social rules to avoid corona, due to which rural areas had to bear the serious consequences.
