In April 2020 Naqsh had started with an awareness campaign #Karo_na_Karo_naa regarding Covid Appropriate Behaviour. It was laced with appeals from celebrities and a responsible section of the society regarding what to do and what not to do to save ourselves from the pandemic. After 2nd wave of the deadly apademic Naqsh again involved with another motto alongwith the 1st one. We are tried and created awareness to get vaccinated with a particular section of the population who are not techno-friendly and don't know how to register themselves to be vaccinated. And during the process we came across a large number of people who actually don't want to be vaccinated out of some fear or myths or due to apathy towards vaccination. So we decided to start the 2nd phase of the campaign #Karo_na_Karo_naa, this time regarding vaccination. In 2nd round we are trying and sharing the tough times of those common people who had to suffer directly or indirectly from Covid. The people who believe that they wouldn't have to go through the pain if only there would have been a vaccine to protect them from Corona virus.
Naqsh thanks all the respected citizens who are participating in the campaign for this noble cause. And this is how we have been able to reach a large section of the population through the campaign #Karo_na_Karo_naa.
There are a number of people in our society who are not techno-friendly. These people are generally uneducated / less educated / domestic workers / free lance workers of unorganised sector and so on. They are clueless how to get themselves register for anything. It was implemented in the initial stage of covid vaccination drive also. This so called section of the society was in dilemma how to register themselves for covid vaccination and be safe by getting vaccinated. To help them Naqsh took an initiative by helping such people for vaccine registeration for a more safe and healthy India.
Naqsh had helped an economically weak family for performing the marriage of their daughter in a remote village situated in Uttar Pradesh. The marriage took place on August 4, 2021. The help was done with the help of members' families & friends for which Naqsh is thankful to them.
Once again India had to face a rigorous lock-down due to Covid-19. Once again economically weak people went hand to mouth. So once again Naqsh tried and helped those who badly needed financial aid. With the help of family & friends, Naqsh had deposited a little amount in the accounts of over 50 families for their survival in the lockdown.
Naqsh appeals.. Don't wait for a pandemic or lockdown or a calamity to donate. Kindly donate throughout. There is always a needy waiting for your help..

Due to global Novel Coronavirus Covid-19 pandemic the whole world went clueless about what to do and how to move further. Viewing the situation and realising our responsibility Naqsh runs an awareness campaign #Karo_na_(dos)_Karo_naa_(donts). The campaign is an appeal from celebrities and responsible section of the Society regarding what to do and what not to do to in the situation. It started in nationwide lockdown and was continued post lockdown also to get rid of this deadly apademic.
We put a little step which is supported by kind, respected and responsible section of our society. Thank you so much all the respected well-wishers for the support by your appeal as your contribution to the campaign #Karo_na_Karo_naa.
In the Lock-down period due to Novel Corona Virus Covid-19, started since March 23, 2020 till unlock 1.0 from June 8, 2020 onwards, a large section of the society had gone through a very tough time. People left behind workless & penniless. Naqsh tried & financially helped approximately 20 families for two consecutive months i.e. April & May 2020 (it amounts to 20+20=40 families). We are funded by nobody. We couldn't raise any crowd funding despite several calls on social media. Still we helped from our own pockets by depositing a meagre amount into their bank accounts for their daily needs. We could have extended this help to more only if we would have got some funds. We had identified a large number of such people but didn't have resources.
For future, Naqsh humbly appeals all of you to help us by donating whatever little you can to further help some more needy. Please visit our Donation section of the website for your generous move.
