Arvind Singh has become accustomed to distress calls for food, late at night. Since the lockdown began, Singh, who leads a health and nutrition initiative by Matri Sudha, an NGO in Delhi, has been distributing rations to needy families in Delhi-NCR with his seven-member team and a group of dedicated volunteers.
Singh recalls a desperate call he got from a family in Gautampuri in southeast Delhi. The family has three children below six, their mother doesn’t work and the severely ill father is bedridden.
