Associations of civil servants formed an initiative called “Civil Services Associations Reach to Support Natural Disasters” (CARUNA), a collaborative platform to support government efforts to fight Corona Virus.

The platform is to be represented by IT professionals, industry leaders, NGO along with IAS and IPS officers. The initiative has been being launched.

As civil servants are spread out all over the country, CARUNA is an ideal platform to assist and supplement government efforts by means of generating a database of information about migration, medical equipment, ventilators, masks, essential supplies, augmenting human resources, facilitating supply chain, information dissemination, public awareness and welfare measures, etc.
