Prince Manvender Singh Gohil, Founder, Lakshya talks about the initiatives undertaken by him during the Covid pandemic
One of the major challenges we have faced during the pandemic is that a lot of us are forced to be in our homes. To escape marriage pressure, we try to live independently but here we were forced to live with families and that led to parents harassing their children for marriage 24x7 and that led to a lot of mental health issues. I got calls of distress of which some people were contemplating suicide. For people below the poverty line, we managed to provide ration to the members of the community. We work for HIV-positive people as well. We provided them treatment at home. The Government of Gujarat also provided us help. You cannot stop treatment as it can have consequences.
