COVID- 19 originated in China, on December 2019. It has now reached 85 countries and territories, in the process infecting 800,000+ people. World Health Organization has declared COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. The deadly virus has killed 38,749+ people globally. India has 1000+ cases and the death toll has surged to 32. It has affected the marginalized communities due to the loss of their livelihood. Ensuring quality healthcare and supply of essentials is the only way to protect the population
The Indian Government is facing challenges in protecting over a billion people; the lock down has put thousands of people out of work, the community of migrant workers have been worst-hit as they remain stranded, with no means of transport. Many of these workers are prone to hunger and starvation because they have no means to earn their daily wages. The supply of essential goods has dwindled down because the state borders have been closed-leading to inflation and fear of shortages.
We aspire to provide free food, groceries, low-cost masks, sanitisers, medicines etc to the poor and vulnerable populations during this crisis. Apart from this, we propose to cost-effective thermal scanning devices, technologies for sanitization of large areas like electrostatic spray as well as AI based solutions for contactless entry, rapid diagnostic kits and portable oxygenators to monitor and control the spread of the new coronavirus.
The support provided to affected people will encourage them to regain their normal lives. Health check-ups will be conducted on a timely basis to ensure good health of people. Better accommodation facilities for people will be explored and necessary equipment like face mask and sanitisers will be distributed periodically.
