Observations by UCANews 20 April, 2020

This programme is a monologue on a contemporary topic that is of interest to the Church.

Will COVID-19 change everything that we do now? It is not possible now to go back to pre-Corona days. One change that is inevitable is the domain of health, one of the most neglected areas anywhere in the world. Government's might and resources are invested now fighting an invisible virus. Even if a fraction of that was invested in promoting health of people, the present state of disarray could have been avoided. Second is that our blind faith in technology will wane. People will realise it has serious limitation. Fruits of technology cannot be accessed by everyone especially the underprivileged. Third is to bring back mind and soul ahead of body. Rev. Dr. Valson Thampu with his observations.
Rev. Thampu served on the faculty of St. Stephen’s College, Delhi, for thirty years (1973-2003) before becoming its 12th principal (2007-2016). He served two terms as a member of the Delhi Minorities Commission. He contributes to the national print media on diverse current affairs issues.
