Isha has been carrying out COVID relief activities to poor and needy under their Action for Rural Rejuvenation programme.
As part of their efforts to fight the virus, a new initiative called #BeatTheVirus was launched in April through which Isha has been implementing relief work at several villages in the Thondamuthur block of Coimbatore.
Isha volunteers have been distributed protective gear like masks, gloves and sanitizers to health workers.
They are also providing Nilavembu Kashayam (a siddha medicine used for boosting immunity) to front line heath workers and panchayat officers.
Food and essentials are being provided to over 50,000 poor and needy in villages.
Isha aims to protect 2 lakh people residing in 90 villages under 17 different panchayats from the looming threat of COVID-19.
Apart from this Isha volunteers spread across the country have been doing their bit in their own capacity. Recently, the “Khana Chahiye” initiative spearheaded by Neeti Goel, to feed workers travelling to their natives was featured as one of the top 50 initiatives to fight hunger during COVID.
