Most activities were though conducted in Bihar, but organizations from Jharkhand and Madhya Pradesh also benefitted from these activities. The activities included covid stock take by organizing weekly meetings of the Covid Coordination and Response Committee (with members from Bihar, Jharkhand and MP). The meetings also helped to review, plan and implement a number of activities by partner organizations viz. distribution of emergency kits, food kits, medical assistance, education, help with hospitalization and oxygen etc.
