Covid 19 Campaign

The Covid-19 pandemic has unimaginably affected social, economic, institutional and governance settings worldwide. It has generated an unparalleled health crisis globally, affecting thousands of people and threatening health systems and services. It has forced over 3 billion people to be locked at home. Covid-19 could put great stress on societies and political systems, thereby creating the potential for violent outbreaks. Early signs of social disorder are already visible. (International Crisis Group – ICG, Report, March 25, 2020). While the adverse and wholesome impact of Covid-19 is yet to be measured, in this entire catastrophic scenario, the poor, vulnerable, low social and income groups, and informal sector are and going to be the worst affected in multitude ways, now and in months to come. Covid-19 is posing a huge health crisis and endemic situation in India. It is affecting the country’s social, economic, services delivery, demand-supply and governance chains and network and crisis management. Livelihood, work, income and security have been disrupted especially for the poor, vulnerable, and people living in rural and remote communities due to a lack of information, resources, and support system. We also distributed oxygen cylinder to the ones who was in need . In these tough times, a lot of basic essential items are getting scarce out of which Food Grains ranks at the top withalmost 36% have stated that it is not available at all. Followed by sanitizer at 20%, which if not available will create health issues and may increase COVID-19 cases as sanitization is the need of the hour. Another challengethat has emerged from this situation is the reverse migration of workers from cities. While the whole physical network, interactions, and engagements have come to a standstill, it is the digital resources, platforms, solutions, and networks that have and can act as a major support mechanism in this crisis. For the vast majority, there arefour sets of issues that requires immediate attention-

Lack of physical and mental health awareness about Covid-19 ,Livelihood and income strains and access to opportunities. Lack of Health resources , Scarcity of food .
