Covid huge opportunity of hope, change which can be tackled by science & tech: Amitabh Kant

COVID-19 has affected normal life and disrupted economic activities, but it is also a huge opportunity of hope, change and a promise of a better future which can be tackled by science and technology, Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant has said. He also urged people to follow appropriate COVID-19 protocols and vaccinate.

“COVID-19 has destroyed normal life and disrupted economic activities, but it is also a huge opportunity of hope, change and a promise of a better future.

“This can only be tackled by science and technology which will be the key for the future, be it remote healthcare or telemedicine or quality healthcare for remote villages or online education or any other thing,” a statement quoting Kant said on Thursday.
