With the COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, the world is faced with one of the most challenging times in the modern history. As the country went into a sudden lockdown to stop the spread of the virus, it became an ultimate test of people’s patience and perseverance. Despite these tough times, the people of Gujarat refused to be bogged down and faced the adversity with their undying spirit. Doctors, medical staff, police staff, pharmacists, security staff, fire brigade team, grocery store vegetable and fruit vendors, etc. all have transformed themselves as the real ‘Corona Warriors’. And because of their dedication to the people and the State, the Government of Gujarat along with Divya Bhaskar has decided to honour the true Gujarat Heroes who went out of their way in helping the citizens through service or kind. These heroes will be felicitated by the Honorable Chief Minister of Gujarat, Shri. Vijaybhai Rupani and will receive a memento and certificate for their contribution to the cause
So, if you know someone or believe yourself to be called a Gujarat Hero, then fill the form at www.gujaratheroes.com below along with the details and nominate others/ yourself for the ‘Gujarat Heroes’ award.
Gujarat Corona Warrior statement by Vijay Rupani

There are thousands of such stories that have become the face of this crisis and the people behind it are the true heroes. With Divya Bhaskar at the helm, it gives me immense pride to announce the launch of the campaign ‘Gujarat Heroes’. Through this campaign, thousands of people, organizations, corporate and government and public employees who have been a part of the journey will be recognized and awarded for going out of their way in helping the people of Gujarat. This award will be my humble thanks and salute to the fighting spirit of the people of Gujarat. It is because of their values and commitment to duty that has brought us this far, and I believe we will succeed in conquering the battle against COVID-19. Jai Hind, Jai Gujarat!

I am pharmacist in covid hospital in new wings hospital ( unit of n m Virani Wockhardt hospital Rajkot )
Myself Jenifer Vaghela. I am a nurse at SMC Health Center. 15 days back I was tested positive for Covid. I stayed home quaratined and I got recovered within 12 days on 14th day after being tested Negative I rejoined my Job to serve the people and Nation.
What the disgusting with us, main role to known that the pts was infected or not, a sample collect to all suspected and even COVID 19 infected patients… So why u not added our cadre “Laboratory Technician” in this nomination.
yes umeshbhai you are right we are the key person and key role to find out corona patient at our life’s risk but ‘gujaratheros.com’ has missed our role and position . this is very strange and it has demoralised all government laboratory technicians working at primary health centers of gujarat goverent. i totally agree with u.
I am laboratory technician in government hospital
I taken last forth month sample for corona testing for rt pcr test and rapid ag test
But not nominated laboratory technician in your gujarat heroes list
I must consider Dr Jitendra Jethani, A Pediatric Ophthalmologist in Vadodara,who has saved more than 20 premature children’s eyes by giving them a proper treatment in that crucial time and when every private hospital are closed due to COVID-19, he came for while and treated those patietns and saved their eyes. This must be published in news as no one is aware about his dedication to pediatric eye patients.
Dr Jitendra Jethani was a Hero in that Lockdown period as he was the only one Pediatric Ophthalmologist who came to treat ROP patients and the emergency pediatric ophthal patients,
also i want to add that when every one said no for operating ROP patient in april,2020 he came to his hopsital and operate those patietns who were needed the most. He was a saviour to those children, whose eye vison may be lost if Dr jehtni doesnt treated them. So for me He is not only a Hero but a Saviour and god for Pediatric Ophthal patietns.
we are the laboratory technician of government prumary health center and working as a leading corona warriors since march 20 means 5 months and still working without any break. we are the key post , we are taking corona suspect patients sample for rtpcr test, doing antigen test for corona at our life’s risk but this ‘gujaratheros.com’ has missed our post it has titally demoralised all gujarat govt lab technicians.

Hi
I am government laboratory technician…today I work in Corona time..we are key person for taking sample of corona Suspected patients for Corona testing.we are the one most Corona warriors last 4-5 months working in this stage,so please consider our work.. nominated our work
We are laboratory technicians very hard working in rural area of Gujarat in Corona Pandemic.We are the key people who collect the samples of patient and help to diagnose the Corona.However you and GOG have not noted us as Corona warriors.Our cadre has disappointed as you have not involved us in Corona warriors heroes nomination.Our strength in Gujarat is hardly 1400 and therefore no one can see the key work of laboratory technicians. Without us not any disease can be diagnosed by doctors.Many of us get infected while collecting the samples.Two-three of us also expired due to Corona.Avoidance of our cadre is disappointing us to fight and work against Corona.I hope and GOG will award us as a key persons against fighting of Corona Pandemic and you will do needful to consider our nomination in Gujarat Corona Heroes.
