Equal attention and efforts have been paid to spread learning about Antibiotics Resistance to the social development sector; hence, local public, Anganwadi workers and social groups are gaining awareness with the designed curricula keeping in mind the intellectual capacity of the individuals who are not from traditional science and medical background. Associate Researchers hired within the project means have been instrumental in planning the courses with partner universities professors.
