One terrible consequence of this pandemic, is that it will reverse some of the good work that the social sector put into into uplighting people from poverty and giving them a life of dignity. The social sector that has been so crucial in this moment of crisis, is equally hit like other sectors. And it’s important for them to be heard so they can be empowered in the process of recovery. In this episode of Charcha 2020, leaders from some of India’s biggest non-profits talk about how COVID-19 impacted their functioning and what are they doing to deal with it. This is Ujwal Thakar, ex-CEO, Pratham Education in conversation with Dr. Madhav Chavan, Co-founder and President of Pratham, Safeena Husain, Founder of Educate Girls, Matthew Spacie, Founder & Executive Chairman of Magic Bus and Shridhar Venkat, CEO of the Akashaya Patra Foundation.
