We at I-India have a larger role to play, and we’re rolling up our sleeves to serve and moving forward to help the marginalised community and migrant population, who cannot earn during a lockdown in the region.
Today, our team has identified some challenging remote statements in Jaipur and provided them necessary ration package, which includes flour, rice, pulse, salt, cooking oil, potato and some basic items for them to survive on. It is an additional emergency service for population on street, slums and makeshift tents. Apart of this, I-India is running its shelter homes for migrant and destitute children and a 24 hours Child Helpline services despite the lock down in city.
