Experience
As they reach the distribution site, it was already noon and extensively humid. Covered with face shield, masks and gloves, they somehow manage to wipe the sweat from their forehead. They are taking extra precaution as 55 villagers have been infected with COVID, while some have recovered there are still few active cases. For the past few days, they have been visiting villages and distributing nutritional dry food kit which contains a sizeable quantity of rice, wheat, pulses, cooking oil as well as protein powder among others.
Given the unprecedented surge in COVID cases and its adverse impact on the poorest of the poor families, Plan India, as part of its humanitarian mandate, immediately set up an aid drive wherein 100,000 COVID infected and affected families will be provided food and nutrition baskets. The reach of this project covers Plan India’s programme areas in 30 districts spread across 8 States
