T-Hub launches COVID-19 challenge for student innovators by Telangana

The #Coronavirus is the pandemic & spreading at a fast pace at nearly 8 lakh cases & the world may end soon if we dont find a solution to not just slow this down but to kill it. In this scenario, where the intelligent & technologically advanced countries have nothing much left to do except for seeking help from others, countries with less area & high population i.e., India needs more care. While both our central & respective state governments are doing their part, Government of Telangana has started T-Hub that launches COVID-19 challenge for student innovators.

Here is the reason why the government is imposing lock down despite people's interest for their own good.
