Pandemic : Covid – 19, March 2020

Beginning of the year 2020, the world experienced spread of pandemic covid-19 like a wild fire. The only method feasible to contain the pandemic was nations to undergo unprecedented lockdowns for specific periods without any notice to general public.

India was compelled to get into lockdown at the zero hours of 23^rd March 2020 for 21 days. This compulsion brought in an additional burden on the financially vulnerable section of the society. They now had to combat for their daily needs along with the disease. The regions with weak or no health system, daily wagers were more susceptible to the menace of covid – 19.

HISWISH immediately responded to this vulnerability. It identified the needy through its various sources. It decided to reach out to the needy and provided them with daily grocery provision for 20 days. The grocery provision included wheat flour, rice, pulses, cooking oil, etc.

It has distributed more than 21000kg of grains till date.
