“Stop Coronavirus, Save Humans” ― Professor M.S. Rao, Ph.D.










The world is at the crossroads because of Coronavirus. COVID-19 is growing exponentially with 512,701 confirmed cases, 23,495 confirmed deaths across 202 countries, areas or territories globally. There are several myths about it. Rumors are spread on social media. The local leaders and governments talk many things with mediocre knowledge without any scientific evidence and research findings. The best thing is to visit the website of World Health Organization (WHO) to get the authentic and updated information and the things to do and not to do URL: https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public

Although research is happening at breakneck speed it appears that there are no drugs that can kill the virus or vaccines that can protect against it soon. It is a big challenge for humans. The best way is to prevent it through social distancing. Here are some suggestions to counter it.
  1. Wash your hands frequently.
  2. Keep space between yourself and others.
  3. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  4. Take adequate rest during work or between the shifts.
  5. Eat sufficient and healthy food.
  6. Engage in physical activities.
  7. Exercise at home.
  8. Follow the govt rules and adhere to rules.
  9. Be positive.

Help the needy. Donate as much as you can. If you don’t have money, become a volunteer and participate in nonprofits to make a difference. In my case, I share knowledge regularly on my blog Vision 2030: One Million Global Leaders URL: https://professormsraovision2030.blogspot.com. Everyone must contribute at this hour of crisis. 

Media must play a responsible role to educate and enlighten people without resorting to hype. It must create hope, not hype on COVID-19.

Current scenario is like World War III. All humans must stand united to fight. If we take appropriate precautions we will survive as humanity otherwise the precious human lives will be lost and the global economy will hit adversely. It is time for us to rise to the occasion cutting across our ideologies and differences. Let us stand united to fight against this invisible enemy to save humans. God bless the world!

COVID-19: Narendra Modi is a Leader at all Times





“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” ―Martin Luther King, Jr.


India’s Prime Minister, Mr. Narendra Modi is an expert in converting threats into opportunities. A few weeks ago, there were protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Some of the States in India have passed resolutions against their implementation. With the onslaught of COVID-19, things have changed and the attention has been diverted to combating Coronavirus. Modi proposed 14 hours Janata Curfew which drew the attention across India and elevated his image globally. He involved the people in the fight against COVID-19 and diverted their attention from various major issues including economy and unemployment.

On 14 February 2019, a convoy of vehicles carrying security personnel on the Jammu Srinagar National Highway was attacked by a vehicle-borne suicide bomber at Lethpora in the Pulwama district, Jammu and Kashmir, India. The attack resulted in the deaths of 40 Central Reserve Police Force personnel and the attacker. The entire nation was shocked and saddened. He converted this threat into an opportunity by conducting surgical strikes in Pakistan and used the public sentiment to win the 2019 elections with a huge majority.

Modi has a list of great advisers who advise him on the right lines and he makes decisions as per the situation. Real leaders emerge during tough times, especially during the global crisis. Modi is a motivational leader and decisive leader who makes decisions fearlessly.  He is a leader at all times including war and peace, unlike Winston Churchill who was only a wartime hero.

Although COVID came out with several challenges it connected all Indians and united them into one platform emotionally. The Indian government announced a 21-day lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus. Thanks to Modi for uniting all Indians into one platform and winning their hearts. Jai Hind!

“Some believe there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills - against misery, against ignorance, or injustice and violence. Yet many of the world's great movements, of thought and action, have flowed from the work of a single man. A young monk began the Protestant reformation, a young general extended an empire from Macedonia to the borders of the earth, and a young woman reclaimed the territory of France. It was a young Italian explorer who discovered the New World, and 32 year old Thomas Jefferson who proclaimed that all men are created equal. ‘Give me a place to stand,’ said Archimedes, ‘and I will move the world.’ These men moved the world, and so can we all.” — Robert F. Kennedy

Coronavirus and Janata Curfew




“Janata curfew [People’s curfew] will end at 9 pm but it doesn't mean we should start celebrating. It's the beginning of a long battle. People shouldn’t come out of houses in states which have announced a lockdown. In the rest of the states, if it isn’t very important, don’t come out of your houses.” —Narendra Modi


There was an overwhelming response to 14-hour ‘Janata Curfew’ (Self-Quarantine or Voluntary Lockdown) across India on March 22, 2020, announced by the Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. It connected Indians emotionally and brought them into one platform to counter COVID-19. Here are the merits of Janata Curfew. It brought awareness among the Indians about coronavirus. It connected all Indians and united them emotionally. It converted Indian citizens into soldiers. It enhanced the image of Narendra Modi in India and abroad that he is committed to combating this global pandemic. It elevated the image of India globally when Indians stood in groups to clap and clang utensils at the end of the day thanking all the medical fraternity and health workers, who have been working day in and out at hospitals and public places like airports.

Real leaders emerge during tough times, especially during the global crisis. Modi is a motivational leader. He is a leader at all times including war and peace, unlike Winston Churchill who was only a wartime hero.

Some of the developed nations found it challenging to counter it despite being equipped with advanced healthcare facilities. For a nation like India, it is more challenging with a lack of infrastructure and adequate healthcare facilities. However, we can still fight this disease with our will power and determination.

Since India has a youth population of more than 50 percent, there is less likely that this virus will attack us. Additionally, Indian climatic conditions are immune to this virus to some extent. There is a silver lining on the dark cloud of COVID-19 because China is gradually recovering from it. Therefore, nothing to panic but be cautious to counter it. Avoid spreading fake news on social media. Educate and enlighten people with authentic and inspiring information regularly. To summarize, let us not neglect it. Let us not be overconfident. Let us stand united to fight against COVID-19.  


“India has a tremendous capacity to deal the coronavirus outbreak situation as it has experience of eradicating two pandemics, namely small-pox and polio.” —Michael J Ryan, The executive director of the World Health Organisation

India's Fight Against Coronavirus―Share if You Care!




“The fear of COVID-19 is worse than the real COVID-19” —Professor M.S. Rao


COVID-19 has connected people across the world into one global platform. I have not seen this kind of situation and challenge in my life so far. It is both a threat and an opportunity for humankind. It is a threat to humankind if we take it for granted and don’t follow the guidelines by the government. It is an opportunity if we take stock of the situation to prepare for the future to avert this kind of pandemic. One takeaway from this pandemic is to prepare a blueprint to tackle  climate change before it becomes a threat to our mother earth.  

Global leaders have come together to counter coronavirus aggressively. We must take massive action immediately. The first thing is to stay at home and follow social distancing. Don’t spread rumors. Don’t spread false information on social media platforms. Social media is a double-edged sword. It is both a boon and bane in the prevailing global scenario. It can motivate the people and bring them into one platform by advising them to take appropriate measures. At the same time, it can create panic by spreading false information. Hence, people must be cautious before writing something about COVID-19 on social media platforms.

Let us be optimistic that we will come out of this crisis with flying colors. Let us believe in ourselves and hope for the best. Let us all applaud health workers, doctors, nurses, police, paramilitary forces and all other people who are working for this cause without waiting for any applause to save citizens. Let us salute them. They are the real heroes and heroines at this hour of crisis!

We will surely come out of this challenge and set an example to the world that India is capable of handling any kind of crisis. In the past, India set an example to the world by eradicating two pandemics—small-pox and polio.  India can break the back of Coronavirus easily if citizens cooperate with their commitment and courage. India is proud to have Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister who is a courageous and compassionate leader and takes bold decisions at this hour of crisis to save Indians. Jai Hind!
