The nine students, from Stella Maris and Patrician College, are pursuing their master’s programmes in social work and have been interning with Thozhamai, an NGO in Semmenchery. Over the last two days they have been creating awareness about basic measures that need to be followed to keep the novel coronavirus at bay.More Related News
