The Covid-19 pandemic had a devastating impact on people\u2019s employment, health, and education. It further highlighted the importance of access to local information on welfare schemes and governance processes. When the lockdown disrupted the daily lives of people, access to information on pension schemes, subsidies, job openings etc., became vital. Prakriye continued its efforts to address this need for information by expanding the scope of our information centers (Namma Mahiti Kendras). During this time, our infomediaries (locally known as sakhis) who manage Namma Mahiti Kendras relied on phone calls and instant messaging platforms to collect and share information with people. They created discrete messaging groups to target information appropriately to various constituencies eligible for welfare schemes, pensions, job openings, etc.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d37f424 elementor-aspect-ratio-169 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"d37f424\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=hUTwb4Z8C-g&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;aspect_ratio&quot;:&quot;169&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-fit-aspect-ratio elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-619527c elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"619527c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><em>Nagaveni traces her journey as a sakhi at one of our Namma Mahiti Kendras and encourages young women like her to break social barriers and pursue their dreams.<\/em> <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2dd98f9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2dd98f9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Libre Franklin;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">In the months that allowed in-person interactions, sakhis shared information by visiting individual households, attending sangha (self-help group) meetings, and screening films, while complying with Covid-19 guidelines.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-family: Libre Franklin;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\u2028In 2020-21, sakhis processed 492 entitlement claims.
