During the second wave of covid pandemic in India, the worst-hit were the people of rural India who had no access to proper health care as well as no information regarding the covid-19 pandemic. The lockdown had created a situation where there was no work resulting in no money. This had led to children leaving their education. All kinds of rumours had spread regarding the corona virus due to no awareness. This situation had created turmoil in the lives of the simple villagers. Still, we saw the strength of those simple folks trying to keep their lives on track, especially women. In the patriarchal society which is deeply embedded into the hearts of rural India; it is more than ordinary to see the women working as ASHA( Healthcare Worker) and Village Head trying to keep the simple yet busy life of rural India into a straight course.
