Project ‘Raksha’ is an initiative by the present and past students of Catalyst to prevent people from contracting the Covid-19 virus and to alleviate them from mental distress (Mann), build aspirational awareness towards Covid-appropriate behaviour (Tann) and design systems to help them sustain their lives and livelihoods (Jeevika). The objective of the project is to create an immediate response system that will lower the burden on our presently overwhelmed public health infrastructure and to innovate a sustainable scalable and replicable model.
Catalyst has partnered with organisations focused in strengthening health responses, expanding social protection, and helping to rebuild lives and livelihoods.
