Thousands of students heading to the UK and elsewhere have to pay exorbitant amounts to quarantine before they can join college. #UnlockEducation a campaign on the NDTV network aims to help Indian students cover some of the costs of the quarantine on arrival, in the destination country, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This special show also features their stories and brings them help. The goal of this project is to ensure that the most needy students, particularly those on scholarships and on student loans are able to afford the self-quarantine expenses.
