| Intervention Arm | Experimental | Participants allocated in this arm will be approached for a workshop related to microbe literacy. Using a microscope, live demonstration of the biological samples brought by the participants will be carried out by the team of researchers. Participants will be assisted to place biological materials under the microscope, manipulate the slides and discover the profusion of microbial life from the immediate environment. The session will be followed by question and answer round related to concurrent hygiene practices and basic sanitation to prevent infections including vaccines. |
