Sharing the image and praising the girl, Benjamin Yepthomi, State President of BJYM, Nagaland wrote: “At a time when adults are reluctant to get themselves tested & vaccinated, little Lipavi, in her innocence, is showing the way forward the rest of us. Responsibility is the need of the hour.” Wishing her a speedy recovery, she showered praise and also tagged Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Health Minister Dr Harsh Vardhan in his tweet.

As much as people were impressed by the girl, some were also concerned how only at 3 years age she managed to go alone. Yepthomi replied to people worried and explained: “It’s in the remote village, it’s just a walkable distance from home.”

People on social media were highly impressed by the little one and hoped that even adults show this level of awareness and responsibility. Many also lauded her parents for teaching her well.

It is heart-warming to see a little girl being responsible enough to take herself to the Health Centre. Her concern and presence of mind at this young age is an inspiration for us. Wishing her good health.@mygovindia @MyGovNagaland https://t.co/gjIKWG45pU

So heartwarming. What strikes me more than anything else, is the sense of security that gave the 3 year old and her folks this confidence where she could go to the medical center on her own. And how well informed they are.
Wish this was true of each locality in the country! ❤️ https://t.co/4GcCqLgqUe
