After declaration of lockdown 1.0 under COVID-19 in India, in view of its seriousness, severity & impact on community our Director Shriom Ji decided to intervene in pandemic in collaboration with partners and Government. He said “It is prime responsibility of Social Organisations to come forward and support people in critical situation”. He updated himself about information’s related to symptoms, precautions, lockdown guidelines and ground level reality from different sources. He found people are in stress and trying to leave for their native places, many people have negligence of ration & cash.

Although Delhi Government is trying to fulfil the needs of people, but due to high number families, it was not possible for them to reach each family, so situation was very critical in first week of April 2020.

It is running from April 5th to today when I am writing this report.
