A 27-year-old female staff of anganwadi rows 18 kms daily along the Narmada to look after tribal babies and pregnant women of 2 Maharashtra hamlets after the fear of COVID-19 kept the group of tribals from coming to her.

Relu Vasave borrowed a boat from a local fisherman and started visiting the hamlets of Aligat and Dadar since April so that 25 newborn babies and 7 pregnant women do not miss out on proper medical care and nutrition.
