The unprecedented disruption in the functioning of the education system during the first wave of the covid 19 pandemic has already conditioned the minds of the students on how to be prepared for a response for the second time. Here are some suggestions that can help you in enhancing your creativity and productivity during the pandemic holidays.

People of Manipur need to have a clear vision of how to respond now, instead of reacting to the scenario to prevent a similar fate that many states are facing. The level of preparedness and awareness of the people and how we are going to fight against this second wave will decide the degree of the potential catastrophe which will be far more dangerous than that of the first wave if not regulated at the right time. This war against an invisible foe can be won only with discipline, we don’t need highly sophisticated war weapons- just following some protocols with proper discipline is enough.
