#UnlockEducation is a campaign on the NDTV network to help Indian students cover some of the costs of the quarantine on arrival, in the destination country, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. 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.
Students travelling to countries, where self-paid quarantine is required because the acceptance of the Covishield vaccine has been delayed, are also eligible to apply for financial assistance through this scheme.
