The NBT Study Group (a group of eminent psychologists and counsellors) released a set of Questionnaires early this month in Hindi & English of seven segments to assess Psycho-Social Impact of COVID-19 and the Lockdown and How to Cope. The Public circulation of the Questionnaire was intended to create a conducive environment for community participation and sharing of emotions in the lockdown period.
Readers and general public are encouraged to participate in the Online Questionnaire and share their feelings and experiences to make the study useful for all. Corona affected families are encouraged to participate and send their responses.

The NBT Study Group comprises Dr Jitendra Nagpal, Dr Harsheeta, Sq Ldr (Rtd) Meena Arora, Lt Col Tarun Uppal, Mrs. Rekha Chauhan, Mrs. Sonie Sidhu and Ms. Aparajita Dixit.
