The biggest lesson the COVID-19 pandemic has taught India is to become self-reliant, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said during the day. He was interacting with gram panchayat members and complimented them for describing social distancing in simple words 'Do Gaz Ki Doori' (maintaining distance of two yards) so that people can understand it easily.
