The Good Share (TGS), a startup in the social sector, has ramped up efforts to ensure dry ration, cooked food, and other essential commodities to those who have been at the receiving end of the nationwide lockdown announced to contain the spread of the Coronavirus in the country.
Dipanker Banerjee, Principal Advisor, TGS said the startup has also tied up with the Tribal Ministry of Maharashtra to manufacture masks.
"Masks as it is understood will be mandatory for next 6 months or even more and hence such an initiative. The proceeds from the sale of these will go entirely to support the Tribal families," he said.
