The Indian government tries to help its people. The government gives hospitals medical supplies.

There is also a campaign on TV and on the radio. It tells people what to do.

Difficult words: disease (a bad sickness), government (the “bosses” of a country), medical supplies (things which doctors use to help people), campaign (videos on TV or messages on the radio about something).
