Student's organisations come forward to work as volunteers for government especially to provide foodgrain to those coming from underprivileged background during lockdown to control spread of COVID-19. Chhatra Bharati — a students' organisation has written a letter to the Chief Minister seeking permission to include them in the process.


Soon after the letter was made public, several other students' organizations contacted Chatra Bharati to be included in the endeavor. Organisations plan to use their students' network in different areas for distribution work to ensure there is no crowd at one place where everybody will gather to collect food-grains.
