With the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic towards the end of 2019, while millions across the world succumbed to the deadly infection, many were rendered unemployed and had to struggle to stay alive on a day-to-day basis. In spite of having no infrastructure to save the lives afflicted by coronavirus, Ramakrishna Math, Barasat, jumped into action to deliver primary life support such as food to the needy at Barasat and some other places in North 24 Parganas. Between 1 April 2020 and 27 May 2020, relief materials comprising mainly food items worth Rs 9,34,565 (Rupees nine lakh thirty-four thousand five hundred sixty-five) were distributed among 13,358 people of 2,763 families.
