The whole world is reeling under the threat of rapidly spreading Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and our country is not untouched with it. The virus is posing serious challenge for the lives and livelihoods of millions of people of India too.
In this situation, the Government of India has set up a special fund — PM CARES Fund – to secure donations for its fight against COVID-19 as the global pandemic poses a “never-before challenge” for which massive funds are needed. The Government has urged all the citizens including corporates to contribute generously in this fund to support the government in fighting against COVID-19.
