Care Today Fund supports vulnerable communities during Lockdown

On 24th March, 2020 the Government of India announced national lockdown to fight Corona spread.

To effectively address the situation, Care Today Fund, an Initiative of India Today Group, partnered with various on field NGOs in several states to provide essential relief to the most vulnerable and needy families. By 29th March, 2020 Care Today Fund, along with its implementing partners were on ground strengthening food security of some of the most vulnerable households. Under the initiative, 58,621 individuals, 1858 children and 80 care givers in 22 cities were provided support so far.
