(E-book) COVID Katha : A Multimedia Guide for Mass Awareness
NCSTC brings out popular COVID Katha in Hindi
The National Council for Science & Technology Communication (NCSTC), Department of Science & Technology (DST) in association with Dr. Anamika Ray Memorial Trust, has brought out the Hindi version of the Popular Multimedia Guide for Mass Awareness carrying important information on A-to-Z of COVID-19 pandemic.
The English version has already been released early this month. In order to fulfil the great demand of the Hindi version of COVID Katha especially from the Hindi heartland, the Hindi edition of the COVID Katha has been brought out with added and revised information for the benefit of the people.
Prof. Ashutosh Sharma, Secretary, DST while appreciating the COVID Katha: A multimedia guide for mass awarenesshas said that the interpretation of science in common man’s language is important for awareness amongst laypersons and Hindi being largely spoken language the Hindi version of COVID Katha carries more value. Prof. Sharma said that science cartoons (scientoons) while carrying scientific messages and explaining the health concepts in a simple manner also add humour and amusement during the present health crisis when people feel stressed!
To spread general awareness on COVID-19 using multimedia techniques and digital platforms, the Department of Science & Technology, Govt. of India, has come out with an interactive electronic guide to help people understand and address the pandemic with suitable knowledge and confidence.
Interestingly, a people supported COVID Katha movement has been started across the country, and a chain reaction is taking shape. The COVID Katha is being translated in the Khasi language of Meghalaya; Tamil version is also coming up; people are working on Bengali and Assamese versions on their own.
Various science communication enthusiasts are effectively trying to put together COVID Katha in different formats, i.e., Flip version, Animations, Videos and other formats. Several official agencies are also using various elements of COVID Katha in their social media and other mass communication campaigns on COVID-19, i.e., Do’s & Don’ts, Scientoons, daily information using one alphabet every day, etc. Hindi and other languages versions of COVID Katha would help spread awareness deeper into grass-root level.

ABOUT BRICS
BRICS brings together five major emerging economies – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, comprising 43% of the world population, having 37% of the world GDP and 17% share in the world trade. BRICS cooperation has two pillars: consultation on issues of mutual interest through meetings of Leaders as well as of Ministers; and practical cooperation in many areas through meetings of Working Groups/Senior Officials. The BRICS Business Council was established during the 5th BRICS Summit held on March 2013 in Durban, South Africa. The objective of creating the council was to constitute a platform which will promote and strengthen business, trade, and investment ties amongst the business communities of the five BRICS countries; ensure that there is regular dialogue between the business communities of the BRICS nations and the Governments of the BRICS countries; and identify problems and bottlenecks to ensure greater economic, trade and investment ties amongst the BRICS countries and recommend solutions accordingly. Seven working groups in the areas of Infrastructure, Manufacturing, Financial Services, Energy & Green Economy, Skills Development, Agribusiness and Deregulation have been formed under the aegis of the BRICS Business Council. FICCI, the secretariat for the BRICS Business Forum, has also been designated as the nodal agency by the Government of India to act as the technical secretariat for the BRICS Business Council. As part of the various initiatives held under India’s Chairmanship, a research paper on required skill development in BRICS countries, workshop on skill development, and many more have been organized in the previous years.
