The Akhil Bharatiya Rashtriya Shaikshik Mahasangh (ABRSM) has decided to donate their one-day salary to Chief Minister relief-fund to fight the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. With their salary due in a few days, the association employees have written a letter to Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray requesting the state government to deduct one-day salary each of their employee before being credited to everyone's account.

The decision was taken on Friday by the association, which has further appealed other teachers' organisations to follow the same. The ABRSM has a widespread reach across Maharashtra with over 7,000 affiliated members all expressing their desire to support the initiative.
