COVID-19 update and our response

COVID -19 Response

Beginning of financial year 2020-21 brought a problem never experienced before in the form of Covid-19. It presented a dual challenge before us – (i) to ensure that the regular interventions continue to happen, ensuring that the gains made so far are not lost; and (ii) redesign existing interventions and also come up with new solutions specifically targeted as a response to Covid-19.
