The timely measures taken by the Government of India, under your leadership, to prevent the spread of the COVID 19 outbreak in India is highly commendable. Your March 24th announcement of complete lockdown of the whole country is a much needed action to prevent and control this outbreak. We, as Joining Forces For Children – India- an alliance of six leading child development organizations, appreciate the government’s decision and commit our support to the Government of India in this time of national crisis.
