In the first Phase, which started on May 3, each NCC cadet of the Gujarat, Daman and Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli Directorate connected, over their mobile phones, with a hundred relatives and friends and acquaintances and spread awareness about COVID Appropriate Behaviour and the importance of vaccination, simultaneously giving moral and emotional support with a human – to – human touch.
In the second Phase of the Campaign, NCC cadets started connecting on their mobile phones with residents of Old Age Homes. The aim of this connect was to instill a feeling of deep love and regard for the elders at the Old Age Homes, as also to keep their spirits high and show them that “We Care”.

Phase Three of this Campaign started on May 22. In this phase, the cadets have been connecting with the Veterans of the Indian Armed Forces and the War Widows, respectfully, called Veer Naaris.
As part of these three phases, a detailed analysis and important conclusions, at the State level, made from the telephone calls and meetings that the NCC cadets have had with a large number of people in Gujarat, have been shared with the concerned authorities. Meanwhile, Shri Amitabh Kant, CEO, NITI Aayog and Chairman, Empowered Group 3 (who himself is a ex-NCC Cadet) had recently chaired a VC, wherein he complimented the work being done by the NCC in Exercise Yogdan, and said that there were certain focus areas which needed to be looked into, namely intensifying the measures on online methods of extending support to the civil population, in terms of following Covid protocols, and also reach out to old people in Old Age Homes for physical and mental support. The Gujarat NCC Directorate is very proud to say that this work was already going on in Gujarat, when Amitabh Kant mentioned the requirement of the same.
Phase 4 of the Campaign is planned to be conducted after the International Day of Yoga is over, with effect from June 23 and will involve the NCC cadets connecting with Corona Warriors – Doctors, Nurses, Ward boys, Ambulance drivers and hospital staff, towards motivating them for the tremendous job that they’re doing in such times.
